French Family Snapshot (late 1940s)


Figure 1.-- Here we see a French family in the late 1940s after World war II. It looks to be a mother who has dressed the children up in summer outfits. The snapshot was probably taken by father in the family's back yard. After World War II the photographs often are poor quality. The boys at the left were often dressed in rompers throughout the year. They had both Summer and Winter rompers.

Practically all French boys through the 1950s were dressed with rompers from infancy to about age e years. Some boys wore rompers longer to about age 6 years.
