I’m not sure if it was taken in Norway or California, but it supposedly is from the late 1920’s. It’s hard to tell because the girls’ clothing looks more late Edwardian to me, but that doesn’t mean anything—I wear clothes that are ten years old. ANYways, let us admire Hilda’s hair and agree that Gunda looks like she would have been the fun Aunt that baked you cookies and laughed at all your jokes. Also, Ludvig was totally the most handsome Paulsen, right?
picture taken in Norway- Gunda was the only one that ever came to USA when I was around 13 and she was a fun, jovial lady.
You’re SO right about Gunda, she looks super fun. And I think Hilda has a twinkle in her eye too, underneath that amazing hair!
