A very useful section on HBC is the family section. Here we can see how all the members of the family dressed. This provides insights on the clothing associated with various styles of boys clothes over time. The family images also provide useful sociological insights concerning family size, demographics, social class , and other factor. Here we include both formal portraits and snapshots all of which offer interesting insights.
This photo shows a Portuguese family in Santo Estêvão das Galés, a village about 25 km north of Lisbon. The photo is undated but was probably taken about 1950. The family seems dressed up for some occasion. Note that the two younger children are barefoot. To go barefoot was very common for Portuguese children till 1980s. Portugal sat the time was one of the poorest countries in Europe.
