This image displays a vertically oriented museum or exhibition card titled "JEWS OF CRETE" at "LEVEL 7." The card provides descriptions and images of artifacts related to Jewish communities in Crete, noting that items were donated by the Capon-Minerbo-Albert families. The card features text alongside visual examples. Descriptions detail: 1. Copies of advertisements from Chania newspapers (Mesogeios, Vima tou Laou) for shops 'Au Bon Marché' and 'Panellinios Agora,' dating from 1896 to 1940. 2. Advertising for the 'Pasquale Albert & Son' company, founded in 1866. 3. "Wares of the shop Au Bon Marché" from the interwar period, including Parisian clothing decorations (beads/sequins), Cretan handmade cotton needle lace, Parisian belt buckles, clasps, buttons, hat stick pins with glass balls, a face powder case, powder rouge (by Maison Dorin), and a decorative glass container for sweets. 4. A postwar photograph of the last tombstone at the Jewish cemetery of Chania, inscribed with 'Sultana' in Greek capital letters. 5. A fragment of a marble tombstone with carved Hebrew letters from Heraklion, Crete, undated. Below the descriptions, a display case is shown containing folded papers (likely the advertisements, items 1 and 2), and various small objects such as belt buckles, hat pins, and cosmetic containers (items 3a-3g). Also visible are a framed photograph (item 4) and a white, irregular marble fragment (item 5). To the right, a genealogical tree charts family connections and life spans, including names like Pasquale Albert, Irene de Castro, Giorgio (1906-2004), Benjamin Isaac Capon (1912-1996), and Mazaltov-Mafalda Minerbo (1909-2002). A hand is visible at the bottom holding the card, suggesting a visitor's perspective within an indoor museum setting, likely in Athina, Greece. The instruction "PLEASE, REPLACE THIS CARD, AS A COURTESY TO" is partially visible on the right edge.
