We have just begun to collect information on chronological trends. We see some boys in the 19th century wearing drsses. We think boys wore dresses throughout the 19th century, although we have no information on the early-19th century. Photography became available at mid-century, although photographs in Austria and Germany did not take off as it did in Ameeica. Thus images from the 1840s and 50s are much less common. we only have images beginning in the late-19th centuyry. The photographic record clearly show Austrian boys wearing dresses in the late-19th century. The styles we note diring the late-19th century varied. The boy here in 1882 wears what looks like a tubular dress (figure 1). Perhaps readwes will know better how to classify this dress. The boy on the previous page wears a belted dress in 1891. There are, however, few 20th century examples.
