Kindly sent to me by the Danish branch of the family.
Another member sent me some photos of a rather nice pot owned by the family, I am guessing Naqada II, there are more photos on an album on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151382897341072.528744.528791071&type=1&l=891ef66dc5
I do want to thank all the descendent of the Insinger Family who have been in touch and shared their heritage.

The aerial photos are certainly prints from photographs
shot by a certain Kofler in 1914. He was the first to take pictures of a.o. the
Pyramids Gizeh and several monuments in Luxor out of an aeroplane. Kofler had a
studio in Cairo and probably had connections with the more famous photographer
Heinrich Leichter."
