- Ink and watercolour cartoon. Outdoor scene, shows men kept in a wire cage on wheels drawn by horse. They are in the fields and being taken in direction of Farnham. An armed guard with a riffle accompany them while local residents ans cows look on. Narrative: Purchased by Kurt Anstreicher M.D. in internment camp. Found in his personal papers after his death in January 2002. Kurt Anstreicher, M.D was born in 1911 in Austria and studied medicine at the medical school at the University of Vienna. He was working there when the Germans annexed Austria and was forced to leave his position because of anti-Jewish legislation. He found refuge in Great-Britain but was made prisoner there once the war started. He was sent to Canada to be interned at the Farnhman camp in the province of Quebec. In Farnham he became the camp doctor. It is believed he acquired these drawings directly from the artist Norbert Berstl while in Farnham.
