The Palestine Post (later to become the Jerusalem Post) was founded in 1932 as part of a Zionist-Jewish initiative, and the audience was English readers in Palestine and nearby regions. It was read by British Mandate officials, local Jews and Arabs, Jewish readers abroad, tourists, and Christian pilgrims. On that fateful day in May 1948 the paper almost never got published. There was a nationwide blackout because of the war, and Jerusalem itself had several power failures. It was only at 1:00 AM that the courageous journalists, Linotype operators, and printers were able to squeeze out a single 2-sided broadsheet for distribution in the morning to the anxious citizens of the brand new State. This was the only English newspaper with exclusive coverage of the war, and the only one printed in Jerusalem. An original copy of the newspaper is rare and very expensive, mostly in the hands of private collectors, and rarely up for sale. But now, thanks to the expertise and craftsmanship of a veteran art director and printing master, you can own a certified and stamped Limited Edition handmade letterpress reproduction that you will cherish forever. A masterful heritage piece of art In commemoration of Israel’s 75th anniversary, this masterfully recreated print was produced using the same printing techniques that were used on that historic day – May 16th, 1948.
