In this photograph from the Alexandrovich collection, the blend of different worlds that characterized Tel Aviv in the 1930s is evident. On the one hand, we can see the developing European-style urbanization, while we can also see a herd of animals and an Arab man riding a donkey. The city is under construction, but there are still sand dunes; Jews in modern European clothes are walking down the street next to Arabs dressed in traditional clothes.
To the right of the car is a man pushing a modern baby pram. In the background are Bauhaus-style buildings, incomplete building structures, and telephone and electricity wires. Tel Aviv in the 1930s was clearly a fascinating combination of the old and the new, Jews and Arabs.
