Land surveying and street traffic in Palestine, 1935
A man operates a surveying instrument mounted on a tripod while camels and automobiles move along a busy street in the background. The footage dates from the Fifth Aliyah, when large numbers of Jewish immigrants, many fleeing Nazi Germany, arrived in the British Mandate of Palestine between 1929 and 1939. Land surveying was a key step in establishing new Jewish settlements and agricultural colonies, often financed by the Jewish National Fund. The juxtaposition of traditional camel traffic and modern vehicles reflects the rapid economic and social transformation of the country during these years.
