Photographs, 1896-1927
Contents of the photographs
Photographs show Ermina as a child, later with Khalil in ca. 1910, in Jerusalem in 1919, her certificate of Palestinian nationality photo in 1925, in Palestinian costume in ca. 1927, on a camel at the Dead Sea, possibly with her mother and another woman, likely in South China, ME, and a small portrait photo. In addition, there is a photo of Mary Hoxie Jones (1904-2003), a relative of Ermina's through her father, Rufus M. Jones.
There are also 3 photographs of a piece of “trench art” bearing Ermina's name. "Ermina J. Totah", "St. Miheil 1918" are written on the shell as well as the name "E. Ricard" (possibly the artist). It is believed that this trench art was commissioned by Khalil for his first wife.
