antique and rare Sept 4, 1929 Illustrated News Poster In Happier Days Jews & Arabs Drink Coffee

In stark contrast to current news, the image titled, In Happier Days, was released less than a month after the The Barq Revolution of August 15, 1929, during the British Mandate. The image harkens to a hidden coexistence between the two cultures, despite being under Ottoman rule till 1917, showing "..Jews and Arabs drinking coffee together as a symbol of peace at the settlement of their last trouble.."
