*** Karel Chech III (Czechoslovakia, 1947)










Figure 1.--Here we have a charming portrait of Karel Chech III at the age of 4 years in Czechoslovakia during 1947. Note the zippered sweater with a diamond pattern and the white shirt collar showing over it. Karel wears extremely well pressed short shorts with neat creases and ribbed beige long stockings. Karel Cech has a fascinating Flickr page about his family.

Karel Chech III (Czechoslovakia, 1947)

Here we have a charming portrait of Karel Chech III at the age of 4 years in Czechoslovakia during 1947. Note the zippered sweater with a diamond pattern and the white shirt collar showing over it. Karel wears extremely well pressed short shorts with neat creases and ribbed beige long stockings that cover his entire legs almost like tights. The tip of the hose supporter clasp is just barely visible on his left leg. Long stockings for boys were very common in central Europe in the 1940s and 1950s. Notice the wooden horses the reins of which he is holding in his hand. This seems to be a studio portrait, perhaps taken in Prague. But we don't know the exact location, only the date. We see another photograph of Karel with his school class in 1952.
