[Signed from behind. Eric Matson - a senior American Colony photographer joined the colony in 1896, worked in the service of photography from the age of 12 and gradually became a photographer by himself. The Mattsons received management of the American Colony's photography service in 1934 and since then began to sign the photos with the company's stamp. The photographs were sold in a store in front of the Fast Hotel until 1946. Following the bloodshed between Palestinians and Jews, the family left the country and moved to California. Matson's photographs were real, they were photographed at the scene, and his photographs do not have staged scenes as others did during his time].
