Figure 1.--This CDV was taken in the studio of G. Penabert, Passage de Havre, Au Rez-de-Chaussee, Paris. I would estimate the date of this CDV to be the mid-1890s. The boy wears a long uniform jacket. He is holding the school cap in his hand. It is the kempi style still worn by the French Army. Image courtesy of the MD collection. |
