Published in 1942, the "General Map of Palestine" crafted by Alexander Nicohosoff stands as a remarkable cartographic masterpiece, measuring a substantial 20.5 x 30 inches. Unveiling intricate details, this map provides an expansive view of the region, encompassing an array of essential features such as roads, railways, rivers, ruins, mountains, and international boundaries. In a captivating blend of Arabic and English nomenclature, a multitude of place names come to life on its canvas.

Elegantly bifurcated into two sections, this map offers a dual perspective. The upper portion grants a panoramic sweep from the shimmering expanse of the Mediterranean Sea to the mystique of the Dead Sea. In the lower fraction, the cartography extends its embrace to encompass the contours from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba.

Beyond its captivating accuracy, the map's historical import is palpable. Its creation amidst the tumult of World War II, when the British held sway over Palestine, echoes the geopolitical currents of its time. The distinct demarcation of the British Mandate of Palestine attests to this era, etching its contours onto the very fabric of the map.

The legacy of the "General Map of Palestine" by Alexander Nicohosoff extends beyond its immediate artistic and historical merit, emerging as a poignant historical artifact. A record etched in cartographic ink, it forms an intricate tapestry capturing the pulse of Palestine during the tempestuous times of World War II.
