Provenance

From the Collection of Clärenore Stinnes & Carl-Axel Söderström. The pieces were acquired during their two year long yourney around the world in a car during the years 1927-1929. Clärenore Stinnes was the daughter of a German Industrialist, she initiated the whole project and set out with the Swedish Camera man Carl-Axel Söderström, whom she later married, and two mechanics. A film has been produced WDR about the young adventorous couple and their remarkable expedition that is called ‘Fräulein Stinnes fährt um die Welt’, by Erica von Moeller, 2008. Thence by descent.
