Croatian Juvenile Eton Suits: Easter Group (1959)


Figure 1.--Here we see unidentified Kindergarten children. We at first thought that they were putting on a school skit. Looking closer, we think that they are at home, but wearing costumes. We thought it might be for a school skit, but given theage differences it might bejust for play at home. The girls are the sun and moon. The boy is a donkey. We think the children are Croatian. All we know for sure is that the photograph was taken in 1959. The boy is rather dressed up for Kindergarten, perhps the parents were to be invited. He wears a smart junior Eton suit with dounle breasted styling. The text on the back as best we can decipher the writing reads, "Tomica sa magarećom glarom, Ze respomem majka Lepi sa Zoríetka Kindergartena snisnljeno." Our inability to read the writing makes it difficult to translate. It appears to be a description of the masks, magarećom means donkey. It was dated March 24, 1959.

A reader writes, "The names of the children are: Tomica (sun), Glariom (donkey), and Lepi (moon). It is an Easter Skit. In the background is an Easter or Spring display. Twigs with eggs hanging from them." Of course celebrating Easter took on aent dimension in Communist Yugoslavia. It was more of a seculr spring celebration as Christmas became a secular inter/NewYear celebration..
