Eines der seltensten fotografischen Dokumentationen zur architektonischen Entwicklung von Tel Aviv.

Erste Ausgabe. Im Stil der Neuen Sachlichkeit gestaltet vom tschechisch-jüdischen Künstler und Grafikdesigner Otte Walish (1903-1977). "This is a pictorial record of one of the youngest cities of the world. A glimpse into the upbuilding of a new community which is one of the most important parts of the Jewish National Home in Palestine and an outpost of Western civilisation in Near East. Well selected photos covering a period of not more than 27 years reveal the fascinating story of the optimism and endeavours of the late Mayor Meïr Dizengolf and his followers who created Tel Aviv."
