Figure 3.--The Fourth picture is dated 15th July 1926. The boys look to be about 4 and 8 years old. They wear identical dark sailor suits and this time are both sporting long pants. I am not sure if this was done for for fashionable reasons or to provide the boys warm winter clothing. Image courtesy of the MD collection. |
The Fourth picture is dated 15th July 1926. The boys look to be about 4 and 8 years old. They wear identical dark sailor suits and this time are both sporting long pants. I am not sure if this was done for for fashionable reasons or to provide the boys warm winter clothing. They look like heavy wool suits, but the portrait was taken in July. Perhaps mutter was preparing for the winter season. The long pants were cuffed which was not common in sailor suirs. The suits have very traditional three stripe detailing. Their sailor sacrves are neatly tied as was the style in many German images that we have noted. The boys wear patent leather strap shoes, this time without the bows, and white socks with their sailor suits. They also have their hair cut in identical bangs.
