Description

In 1926-1927, Crown Prince Gustav Adolf and Crown Princess Louise of Sweden made an international trip around the world to benefit Swedish interests, which was described as a great success, especially the trip to the USA, during which they travelled over the nation from New York to San Francisco.
Crown Princess Louise and Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden presented with gifts at a reception at the Shrine Auditorium on the day of their arrival in Los Angeles. The man on the right may be Perry W. Weidner presenting the Crown Prince with a mounted specimen of a section of the backbone of the prehistoric giant sloth taken from the La Brea tar pits (in which the prince had expressed a keen interest). The painting behind them is a view of Santa Monica Bay through eucalypti by a local artist given by local Swedish-Americans. Crown Princess Louise holds a bouquet of flowers.
