First Israel Airmail Stamp photograph Sheet: A reduced-size photograph showcases the complete printer sheet of the 250pr value, divided into six panes of 50 stamps each. Positioned on the right side of the photo, three designs are featured. One highlights the Dead Sea Ancient Scrolls. The middle design displays the stamp image, depicting Noah's dove with a branch of olive in its peak, sourced from the mosaic floor of the synagogue at Jerash.

Additionally, at the bottom right, an air mail stamp is depicted, with text in Hebrew and "TIMBRES DE POSTE AERIENNE" below it. From Designer's Archive, D. Remez Collection.
