Rhodes Family Pictures

Home

This page illustrates samples of family photos currently exhibited at the Rhodes Jewish Museum. They may be of interest to you for various reasons. It may be because they are a recognizable family, or because of the fashions being worn and/or because of the photographic poses. On many photos you will notice the graceful stone mosaic floors which are used throughout the Old City of Rhodes and have become a distinctive background.
