Here we have a garden scene taken about 1931. This looks to be the back garden of their home. We note that Jean was wearing a similar outfit to the boy in the postcard, not without a fancy blouse and shoes. It was his ordinary clothes for the day. He wore sandalettes with light-colored kneesocks. Claude wore a wool knit suit. These knit suits were very popular until 1950s for little boys. Notice he wore also white training shoes called " babyfoot ". These shoes were considered to be good for a growing toddler's feet. Claude' socks were probably knitten by an elderly aunt or grandmother, but could have been purchased in the store.
