Spyker Auto's Opera

Pieter van der Hem was a Dutch painter, draftsman and binding designer. Van der Hem belonged to the Modern Art Movement and found his inspiration in the fashionable nightlife of Paris, Rome, Madrid and Moscow. He was also an illustrator and political cartoonist in the Dutch newspapers ‘De Haagsche Post’ and ‘De Haagsche Courant’. Spyker Cars (Industriële Maatschappij Trompenburg Amsterdam) is a Dutch manufacturer of highly exclusive hand-built cars established in 1880 and founded by two blacksmith brothers, Hendrik Jan and Jacobus Spyker. The Spyker company ceased to exist in 1925. The elegant elderly couple are out for a night on the town and the bell boy is hailing a Spyker automobile to bring them to their destination.
