South African Boys' Clothes: Van Plesten Family


Figure 1.-- We note three siblings of the Van Plesten family about 1912. In the center the elder sister, Helena Susare; in the right side Frederika Petronella Magdalene, known with the nickname of Frikkie, and in the left side Carl Johannes. We know that Helena was born in 1904 and Frikkie in 1905.

We know that Helena was born in 1904 and Frikkie in 1905. We have no more information about Carl Johannes. This seems a studio portrait. We can see that the boy have long hair. He is also the only barefoot in the photo, perhaps because he is the younger or, more probably, because he is a boy.
