Street crossing with automobiles and donkeys, Jerusalem 1938
At a street crossing in Jerusalem, modern automobiles meet a donkey-drawn cart while pedestrians cross the road. The image captures the contrast between traditional transport and the growing use of motor vehicles in Jerusalem during the late British Mandate period. In 1938 the city's Jewish, Arab and other communities lived in close proximity, reflected in the shared use of the streets. Such everyday scenes often served newsreels as background footage for political coverage of Palestine.
