Here is a CDV portrait of Erich Lille. CDVs were still a popular photographic portrait format in Germany even into the early 1900s. This portrait is undated, but was probably taken about 1900. A German reader dates the CDV to 1900-05. The photographer was E. Scheithauer from Zwickau, Wilkau. This is a village in southern Saxony near the Czech border. At the time the portrait was taken it was the Austro-Hungarian border. We know Erich is 6-years old because thos is a first day of school portrait. He is wearing a sailor suit with bloomer knickers. It is a very plain sailor suit with an embridered dickey. He hs a matching sailor cap. He is already for school with his backpack and his large school cone.
