Figure 1.--e see many boys wearing Lederhosen to school. They are a popular garment for First Day portraits. We know the boys were 6 years old in these portraits. It was very common to take a keepsake portrait on the first day of school. We notice both snap shots and formal studio portraits. Many are easy to identify because the children have gift cones. Other ages are more difficult to assess, but the gidt cones make it easy. This snapshot is undated, but was probably taken in the 1950s.

Before World War II, Lederhosen were most pronounced in Bavaroa. After the War, they begin to bvecome popular in other areas of Germany, especially in the 1950s.
