We have found snapshots of children enjoying an unidentified park. We at first wsere not sure it was a parrk rather than an undeveloped rural areas where children were having a birthday party. And as we acquired more images, it is clear that it was a park. A French reader assures us tha it was a park. Unfortunately we do not have the name of the park or where it is located. We believe the photographs were taken in the 1950s, based on the children's clothing. And we can see facilities for the children. The children are mostly younger pre-school children. And we cn see what they were wearing and their activities at the parks. Our French reader commenting on the smock outing page, writes, "These two French children are definitely playing in a park. The child on the left she is a girl. On the right is a boy is wearing a romper and not a smock. The smocks were only for school time. Thursday and Sunday the boys rarely worn smock. Looking at the little girl shoes, I believe the snapshot was rather made about 1938/1944. In this time, her hat model was also worn by boys; Her shoes model came again in fashion in 1960s for girls 6-20 years old." We have archieved several other images. We see one boy in a group of children wearing a skirted garment which may be a smock. We see some children in a group activity and other sbaps of friends together. We note another boy wearinf bib-front play rompers.
