Amsterdam - March 30, 1958
From Collection Algemeen Hollands Fotopersbureau / Ben van Meerendonk
This presentation is comprised of digitized images of over 150 photographs - organised under seven topics: Amsterdam, Daily Life, Famous Dutchmen, Royal Family, International, Sports, and, Flood Disaster 1953...
It was founded by photographer Ben van Meerendonk (born July 20, 1913) in 1945. Although the agency started with several employees, by the fifties it was a one-man business of Van Meerendonk and some assistants.
(I found via this photo of Brigitte Bardot lookalikes...
Because apparently I look 66% like BB according to the face recognition thing as seen on crazybrave and toph. When actually I look maybe 22% like 10% of the hopefuls in that shot. Or 11% on an average St Patrick's Day.)

Why St Pats day in particular? Is it because you honour the occasion by painting yourself green?
No, nor do I drink myself green.
Thought I might raise a glass in the local oirish themed pub, but didn't even honour that whim.
Oirish theme pubs I can cope with. But it surpasses my understanding why anyone bothers with English theme pubs. The real thing is pretty bloody dreary, all Watney's Red Barrel, Gin and It, and cheese and onion potato crisps in miniscule packages. If you're really daring, some provide dried up cheese and piccallilli pickle sandwiches and superannuated pork pies as well.
"I look 66% like BB"
So they don't have piccies of the young Susannah York in face recognition image database?
when I was young people used to say Hayley Mills...(in her Polyanna phase)
now I think I'm more somewhere along the IM psycho-biddy DB...
10% BB, 20% Baby Jane
