| Margaret Hartley in Europe somewhere, 1950's/1960's |
My grandmother, Margaret (Fister) Hartley (1912-2000) was always impeccably dressed and groomed, and although her parents Mette Karine and Berdines Rasmussen immigrated from Norway in the 1880's/90's, there was nothing Old World about her. Check out her red lipstick, painted red nails, and pose. Hard at work lol!
For the longest time I assumed this picture was taken during her trip to Norway in the mid-1950's, but on closer inspection I think this is more likely in Holland (note the clogs and windmill motifs).

Given the Bols bottles prominently displayed, it was most likely taken in Amsterdam possibly in 1954 when there is a passenger list of Margaret and George flying back to the US from Stockholm. If you still have access to her passports you can probably find out a more exact date from them.
