Emergency Laissez-passer – Pinchas Rutenberg, 1925
Emergency Laissez-passer by the Government of Palestine, issued for Pinchas Rutenberg. Palestine, February 1925.
Official certificate (valid for one year) permitting its holder to leave to Egypt, Europe and America. The certificate served as a substitute for a passport for Palestine residents who were not British subjects.
Two leaves (four pages), typewritten, with handwritten additions, signatures and stamps.
Rutenberg's passport picture with his signature appear on the first page above his full details: citizenship, age, height, etc. The pages are full of ink-stamps and visas of England, Italy, German, Suez Canal border-crossing, etc. Among the stamps is an Austrian stamp dated August 1925 alongside a handwritten inscription in German ("besuches des Zionisten Kongresses"), attesting to Rottenburg's participation in the 14th Zionist Congress in Vienna.
Pinchas Rutenberg (1879-1942) was a Jewish-Russian revolutionist, head of the National Committee for two terms, founder of the Israel Electric Corporation and pioneer of modern industry in Palestine. This document is from the time Rutenberg received the exclusive franchise from the Mandate government to produce electricity in Palestine and he began with plans to construct the hydro-electric power plant in Naharayim.
[2] leaves (four pages), 33 cm. Fair condition. Folding marks and creases. Many tears to edges and along the folding marks, some open and some reinforced with adhesive tape. Stains.
