Spyker-Auto’s. ca. 1920. Pieter Vanderhem.

19 5/8 x 27 3/8 in./50 x 69.5 cm

Vanderhem, who started out as a caricaturist, captures a slice-of-life portrait of a young, wealthy post-war couple and their touring-car. The lovely wife chats with the innkeeper, while hubby coolly lights a smoke, as the chauffeur pulls up. The suitcase bears stickers for the Grand Hotel, Marseille and the Hotel Metropol, Lyon, among others. The Spyker Brothers became, in 1898, the first Dutch car-makers, but this ad comes toward their last hurrah; the company folded in 1926.
