Austrian Boys Clothes: Family Trends--Budapest Brothers Identical Outfits


Figure 1.--These Hungarian brothers were photographed in 1902. Notice how the to oldest boys wear identical suits. Here Pisti is 11 years old, Viki is 7 years old and Villy 3 years old. The portrit was taken in Székesfehérvár, an ancient Hungarian town between Lake Balaton and Budapest. Image courtesy of the MD collection.

Some of the boys were dressed in identical outfits, at least the brothers cloest in age. Their parents believed in age appropriate clothing. Because more thn 10-years seem to have separeated the oys, they were never all dressed identically. Two of the brothers were, however, at times dresseidentically. This appears to have been especilly true of the two oldest boys. One portrait in 1902 shows the two oldest boys wearing kneepants suits with large buttons. The younger boy, however, still wears a dress. Here Pisti is 11 years old, Viki is 7 years old and Villy 3 years old. Note that hile the younger boy does not wear a suit like his older brothers that all three boys wear similar short hair cuts.
