While we can follow the styles in great detail using the photographic record, one matter we cannot readily assess using the photographic record is what the boys though about the oufits mathers purchased for them. It was generally mothers who selected and purchased outfits for younger boys. Fathers usually got involved only for older boys in their teens. All of this varied somewhat from family to family, but this was the general pattern. The boys were too young to commit any of this to writing, but some comments show up in biographies. We know mothers were aware of some of this, but not all togeter of the boys' feelings. THis is why age grading was so wide spread. The age grading helpd to indicate foughly what the conventiimns were at the time. We notice only a few notable clues in the photogtaphic record.
