A LARGE-FORMAT RESTORED 1947 PALESTINE MAP
Explore Palestine as it was mapped in January 1947 through this carefully restored historical reproduction from the closing years of the British Mandate for Palestine.
Printed at an impressive 36" x 52" in vivid full color on ADVENTURE iDIAZ signature polypropylene material, this Palestine map before 1948 provides a substantial visual record of the place names, settlements, roads, geographic features, and other cartographic information represented by the original Survey of Palestine source.
The January 1947 date is particularly significant.

For collectors and researchers seeking a pre-1948 Palestine map, old Palestine map, historical Palestine map, or British Mandate Palestine map, this reproduction offers an opportunity to examine the region through cartography produced before those major historical changes occurred.
ADVENTURE iDIAZ digitally restored the historical source to improve clarity and presentation while preserving its original cartographic character. The finished map is printed on durable, water-resistant and tear-resistant polypropylene for long-term study, handling, collecting, and wall display.
