Middle-class German Family: Home Snapshot (1928)


Figure 1.-- This family had three boys age about 5-12 years of age. Based on how they are dressed and the hair cut, we would say the family was a very well-off middle class family. The clothes are very smart which and the boys have neatly combed hair. All three boys wear sailor suits. Sailor suits were very populr with middle- and upper-class failies. Less so with working-class families. We are not sure just why that was. Click on the image to see the boys a year earlier.

The two older boys wear idengtiocal standsard striped sailor blouses, although the wrist cuffs are different. The dickies have the stripes going horizontally. The boys ;ook about 5-12 years old. Their parents are elegantly dressed. They are in front of a traditional looking house with a white wall. The boys hair is all done differently. The younger boy has page boys bangs. They appear to be a very close family. The body posture is revealing. The paerents and the older brother are all rather touchingly holding on to the younger boy. An the middle boy has his hand on the father's arm. The middle boy to the left needs glasses, but is not wearing them.
