A different photograph of the same event appears with the article, "TOUR CHAMPIONS VISIT CITY Wanderwells Plan South Seas Trip," Los Angeles Times, 11 Aug. 1932: A2 From left to right, Captain Walter Wanderwell and Dorothy Dawn ride in fleet car no. 2 in the near distance at center. The car is viewed from the side and faces right. Captain Wanderwell sits in rear seat and Dorothy Dawn sits in the front seat. Both look to camera and raise their arms out the car window to salute. Beneath the car's windows, a band of collected insignias decorate the car. On the front door of the car it reads, "WORK AROUND THE WORLD EDUCATIONAL CLUB." To the right of this text, a monkey sits on the running board. Beside the monkey, additional text on the car reads, "TO SMASH WORLDS AUTO-TOURING RECORD SET BY - CAR NO-2-WANDERWAL- 2 NOW IN FORD MUSEUM U.S.A. AFTER CROSSING 43 COUNTRIES [FOR] THE CAUSE OF WORLD PEACE," and, "AROUND THE WORLD WITH Leica CAM[ERA]S." Towards the rear of the vehicle, at left, a police officer stands. A few children stand directly behind him near the left edge. Behind the car, on-lookers crowd the opposite curb. A building stretches behind them and across the image. Two identical posters affixed to the center window read, "LOS ANGELES TIMES OLYMPIC GAMES EDITIONS JULY 31 AUG. 15 16 ISSUES Mail Them Everywhere."
