Davis Trietsch (1870-1935)
Palästina-Wirtschafts-Atlas. Berlin: Orient-Verlag, 1926.
Rare atlas with attractive graphic design, showing Jewish economic activity in Palestine. This is probably the enlarged 'second edition.' According to the National Library of Israel's online catalogue, they hold a 'first edition' of 1925 with 20 maps on 18 sheets, although Trietsch seems to have had a fluid publication policy, and it is difficult to keep track of ‘editions’ of his atlases. Some of the maps in this publication were also issued under the title Atlas der Jüdischen Welt, also of 1926 (see Christie's 11 July 2018, lot 232); one of the maps in the present lot has had its date changed from 1925 to 1926. Trietsch was born in Dresden, Germany, before moving to New York, where he studied Jewish migration. In 1895 he proposed the Jewish colonization of Cyprus. Later, in 1897, he attended the First Zionist Congress at Basel, Switzerland, where he was one of only four Americans in attendance and the only American delegate. In the early 20th century, Trietsch moved back to Germany and settled in Berlin where he published material, such as the present lot, to promote the Zionist cause and emigration to Palestine. He himself settled in Palestine in 1932. Only 4 copies of this title can be traced in institutions (Stanford, Frankfurt, Kiel and Vienna). The maps and charts cover Jewish workers in Palestine, Jewish land ownership in Palestine, population density of Palestine, overview of Jewish industries in Palestine, Palestine imports and exports, Jewish capital investment in Palestine, etc.

Folio (380 x 250mm), 30 colour-printed maps and charts, four of which folding (lacking contents leaf, a few margins creased or frayed). Loose and unbound (without the original portfolio).
