I have two photographs each with a stamp logo on the back with the words "ATELIER VILJUGREIN and AKKIM". Would these photo's most likely have been processed in Norway or Sweden. Thank you

There is also an Askim in Sweden, it is today a district of Göteborg (Gothenburg), but I think it used to be an independent town or village. VILJUGREIN looks wrong. Could it be something like "V.I. Ljungren" if it is Swedish? Or perhaps "Vil. JUGREIN" for Vilmelm JUGREIN, but Jugrein looks wrong to me, both as a Swedish and Norwegian name. // Bo Johansson

It was opened in 1932, according to this URL: http://www.museumsnett.no/alias/HJEMMESIDE/fotosek/fotograf.html?sok=1&navn=Viljugrein&foedt_utvid=&foedta=&doed_utvid=&doeda=&fylker=--+Ikke+valgt+--&virkested=Askim&div=&vis=3434 (the URL ends here) -- MVH Inger [email protected] (Remove fjernmeg. from my address to reply)
