Figure 1.--Here was have a rural family, the George Raguet family although the writing on the back is indistunct. Thy look toi be a farm family. Notice the overalls. The United States began wityh only a few small citiu, more like towns. Urbanization steadinly increased duing the 19th century, espcially after the Civil War (1861-65). It was not until the 1920s, however, that the majority of Americans lived in urban areas. The postcard-back photograph here is undated, but we know it was taken in the 1910s, in part because of the AZO stamp box (four tringles up) as well as the clothing styles.

Notice the all metal wagon, one of an American boy's prized possessions. And we see a great Jack Russel dog. You can imagine the fun that the boys got up with the pooch. The Norfolk knickers suit and flat cap were a classic. Overalls were widely worn by boys throuhut America beginning in the late-1900s decade. The girls wear white dresses.
