- Summary
- Identification on verso (handwritten): First shipment of art back to Holland, Munich airport
Additional identification in a different hand: Autumn of 1945; T.C. Howe drove from Frankfurt to Amsterdam to alert the proper Restitution authorities (also our graceless ambassador!) that the shipment would arrive at Schiphol Airport; such was the lack of telephone service then between Frankfurt and Amsterdam.
