This slide certainly falls in the “some things never change” category! Our heroine seems to be doing a pretty good job of “holding up” the tower in an era before instant digital photography.
In our continuing series of vintage slides here’s a charming slide from Holland. We believe these slides came from an officer in the American Military stationed in Germany in the 50s.
Here’s a typical picture of tourists devouring the raw “nieuwe” haring. Most Dutch people eat it with a knife and fork.
The photographer wrote that this slide was taken in Marken, an historic and touristic village just north of Amsterdam.

We’ve found a cache of vintage slides at the Cayucos Antique & Collectibles Street Fair. We plan to bring you some scans of these vivid slides in the months to come.
To start here’s a picture of Notre Dame. Scaffolding: that’s something that belongs in the things never change category.

Île de la Cité, Notre Dame de Paris, 1954.
