Cover title : Map of Israel, including plans of Jaffa – Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, the Middle East. London : Geographers’ Map Co. for The Jewish Chronicle, November 1949. Map, printed in colour, 101 x 76 cms, folded and housed in lettered card wrappers (small tears to the corners, and at the point where the map is affixed to the wrappers, which have rubbed corners and a few stains), a very good example.

N. Security Council Official Records Ref. S/1302/Rev. 1. Dated 20th June, 1949’ (from the key).
