Dewenter Europe 1933: Part 1

This 1933 silent home movie, Dewenter Home Movies: Europe 1933 1, shot in black-and-white 16mm by Henry John Dewenter and Elizabeth Auer Dewenter, captures their European journey. Fueled by oil wealth from their La Verne, California ranch—now a National Register site—the couple, who immigrated from Germany and Austria in 1907 and wed in 1914, likely filmed cityscapes, cathedrals, and rivers like the Rhine. With sons Henry Adolf and Paul at home, this pre-war reel offers a nostalgic glimpse of 1930s Europe through their personal lens.
