Nils Graf Stenbock-Fermor (born 1904 Nitau by Riga; died 1969 Hamburg) Draughtsman, caricaturist, painter and author, Stenbock spent his childhood in Riga. It was there that he gained his first art certificates during the time of the revolution. After training in Hamburg with the Otto-Meisner publishing house he went to Berlin. There he worked with Emil Orlik and contributed to the magazine Jugend. During the thirties he was set designer to the Berlin stages of the famous theatre director Erin Piscator. These revues at the Central Theatre in Berlin-Kreuzberg define the high point of political mass theatre in the Weimar Republic. He made many portraits of the most famous actors of that legendary epoch as well as his numerous stage designs. He later supplied the publishing house of Flensburger Wolff with book illustrations
