Scarce atlas with attractive graphic design, showing Jewish immigration and economic activity in Palestine. Born in Dresden, Davis Trietsch (1870-1935) moved to New York where he studied Jewish migration. In 1897, as the only American delegate, he attended the First Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland. Later he moved back to Germany where he published material, such as the present lot, to promote the Zionist cause. He himself settled in Palestine in 1932.
