‘politics’ and the idea of a ‘royal house’ might be tempting, but the source of the family’s wealth was ‘banking’.

9 illustration
‘birds of paradise’ provides distraction here but the text about proving other researchers

10 pottery
She translated ‘books’ but did not collect them. Only her ‘pottery’ was left to a museum.
11 lectures
The text does not say what happened to Mayer’s collection after he died. But his legacy was the public ‘lectures’ that he funded.
12 fossils
She donated most of her other collections to a museum, but not her ‘fossils’.
