I found an English version of this poster in The Flying Camel by Mordechai Naor and Batia Carmel, The Israel Trade Fairs and Convention Center and Eretz Israel Museum, 2010, p. 43 The quality of the reproduction in the book is much better, but I have lent my scanner to an old artist for several months.

The Near East Fair was first held in 1923, and was formally named the Levant Fair in 1932. An international trade and commerce show, it highlighted Jewish Palestine's economic success and was intended to help cement Tel Aviv as an international city at the crossroads between the East and the West. Here, a settler is shown with her basket overflowing with the harvest fruits, against a map of the Red Sea, the Gulf of Suez and pictographic representations of Tel Aviv and Alexandria. Born Meir Gorodetsky in Belarus, Meir Gur-Arie studied at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem. Upon graduating, he continued at the school as a professor. He was an influential artist in Palestine, being a founding member of both the Hebrew Artists Association, and along with Ze'ev Raban, the "Studio for Industrial Art." He was a painter, watercolorist and silhouette maker. He designed fewer than a dozen posters. This is the Hebrew version. Rare.
