These are interesting colorized photos. I don't know the entire context or history behind these ... I can only assume that these are of the kids of US missionaries and/or diplomats posted to this region back then.
(If anybody knows some history or background about these pictures, please post details on this thread.)
Happy Independence Day FReepers!

The bottom line of the Hebrew description says:
American Colony Hotel.
Here’s a link to the history of that Jerusalem hotel that is still there. Your theory that these were or included children of missionaries fits with the history:

Was wondering why they’d be celebrating 4th of July in Jerusalem....maybe cause it has usa in it. :)
Whatever the reason, nice to see! Thanks for sharing.
