I get that it is a lovely piece, but could the photographer really not have removed that note prior to taking the photograph? It is not as if it could not just be replaced afterward...
It may seem highly trivial, but I think a slightly more formal example picture is required.
I concede again that the piece itself is a prime example, (maybe even antique? I have no eye for such things,) and it clearly belongs to the photographer, or someone close, and they are donating this amateur photo to benefit the project. But it does not have to look amateur. I will see what I can find and suggest the change.
