"Tien gezichten op Khaniá en Soúda op Kreta, Griekenland" (Ten Faces of Chania and Souda on Crete, Greece) is a collection of ten photographic postcards, created by Ernest Diehl before 1898. Diehl, a renowned photographer born in 1852, captured diverse aspects of the Cretan landscape, showcasing the architecture, harbor scenes, and everyday life in the cities of Chania and Souda. These postcards offer a glimpse into the late 19th-century life in Crete, a region experiencing significant historical change during the Ottoman Empire. The arrangement of the postcards, forming a visual narrative, evokes a sense of exploration and discovery, inviting viewers to explore the beauty and complexity of this Mediterranean island.
