Figure 1.-- This is a birthday (Geburtstage) portrait of Paul Clemens. He turned 4 years old on March 7, 1935. He has longish over the ears hair. It is a little difficult to see just what he is wearing. It looks to us like a button on shorts set with a self belt. The belt probably coverd oner the waist buttons. The outfit has a large white Peter Pan collar and white sleeve cuffs. The blouse top buttons at the side like a tunic and Paul wears a lockett. He has white long stockings which look to be worn with long underwear.

Paul Clemens (Germany 1935)

This is a birthday (Geburtstage) portrait of Paul Clemens. He turned 4 years old on March 7, 1935. He has longish over the ears hair. It is a little difficult to see just what he is wearing. It looks to us like a button on shorts set with a self belt. The belt probably coverd oner the waist buttons. The outfit has a large white Peter Pan collar and white sleeve cuffs. The blouse top buttons at the side like a tunic and Paul wears a lockett. He has white long stockings which look to be worn with long underwear. The weather can still be cold in Germany during March. The outfit is complete with spiffy two-tone high-top shoes. This was not a very common style at at the time, but we do occasinally see them. We suspect that this is an outfit that ould have been worn by a boy from an afluent family. He holds what looks like a stuffed cat, perhaps his birthday present.
