United States Boys' Clothes: 1913 Unidentified Family


Figure 1.-- This postcard snapshot show the three children of a family in 1913. The children look to range from unfancy to about 6 years old. The baby is sitting in a beautiful antique wicker pram, a precious older sister with a hair bow, and big brother outfitted in a sailor suit. Their surroundings are so humble that they seem to be living in a junk yard. Notice the rather basic portch and shed. The environment is in sharp contrast to their attire.

The background looks rural, but the children would not look out of place on 5th Avenue. The environment is in sharp contrast to their attire. This rppc post card is postally unused. The date June 8, 1913 is written on the back.
