Comments:

The American-Swedish News Exchange was established by the Sweden-America Foundation in Stockholm in 1921 and the agency opened its office in New York City in 1922. ASNE's main purpose was to increase and broaden the general knowledge about Sweden and to provide the American press with news on cultural, economic and political developments in Sweden.

​

Caroline Armington recorded in her Sales book that she gave this print to Mr. A. Blomquist of the Swedish State Railways.

In 1928, Mr. A. Blomquist (often spelled A. Blomqvist in Swedish records) was an official photographer and documentarian associated with the Swedish State Railways (Statens Järnvägar or SJ).

Historical archives from Sweden's National Railway Museum (Järnvägsmuseet) credit him for widely preserving the visual history of the expansion of the Swedish rail network during the late 1920s through the 1940s.
