Memorabilia collection

The lot contains photos and brochures from a trip that the Belgian clothing retailer Jules Marlier (1905-1993) undertook in 1954 with his seven-year-old son Daniel (1947-2022). It took him commercially to Striwa GmbH in Lichtenfels in Upper Franconia and to visits in Upper Bavaria and Austria. The travel route and dates are unknown in detail.

The lot comes from Daniel’s estate. He mentioned the trip to the seller several times, as it was, for the little boy at the time, naturally an experience.
