The Palestinian Museum has a collection of some 130,000 digitized photos and documents. A couple of them portray Jews, perhaps from the 1920s, praying at the Western Wall.
Here is how they describe the scene:
Jewish Pilgrims Pray by al-Buraq Wall, Jerusalem the 1920s
Taken in the 1920s, this photograph shows Jewish pilgrims praying by the al-Buraq Wall; which Zionists and Jews call the "Wailing Wall", located in the southern section of al-Aqsa Mosque near the al-Maghariba Gate. Although the wall is an Islamic endowment, the Jews have been trying since the end of the nineteenth century to control it, claiming that it is a remnant of the temple, but they failed. After the British Mandate in 1917, Jews began to gather in masses in an attempt to hold control over the Wall area, which led to the Buraq Uprising in 1929, which was basically a revolution to defend the Wall from Judaization, which resulted in the birth of an international commission of inquiry that issued in 1930 a decision stating that Muslims have the right to the Wall. But after the 1967 June War and the occupation of the eastern part of Jerusalem by the Israeli Occupation Forces, the Occupation Authority took control over the wall area and demolished the adjacent Mughrabi Quarter and worked to Judaize and completely change the features of the place.
