Summary

A green cloth-covered photograph album, decorated on front with Art Nouveau motif and the word 'Photographs'. Contains 32 black and white photographs, mostly aerial, of what was then Palestine and other landscapes during World War I. Each photograph is approximately 80 x 100mm. Captions are sometimes written on the photograph itself. Several are dated 1918.
