Figure 1.--Here we see a rather oplain tunic with top front buttons. There is a small collar and cross bow. The tunic is worn with a bdelt. The sleves are bloused, but there is no vloused shirt underneath. The unidentified boy looks to be about 10-years old. Notice his kepi with top embrodery. The tunic is a moderate length, about way between he waiust and knees. Notice the long pants are slightly darker than the tunic. The studio was L. Mulot at l'Hótel de Ville in Paris.

We sudenly have much more informtion on French tunic suits in the 860s. Thecreaon of course is the popularity ofvthe CDV. The albumen process and the CDV was deveoped in the mid-1950s, but for some reason did not become popular until the 1860s. Syddenly we see portais being done in unprecedented mumbers. Tunic outfits seemned to have been a popular style for French boys in the 1860s. Some tunics buttoned at the fromt ad were worn with bows. The tunic sleeves in the early-60s might blouse, but not like the ines we see in the 50s. The tunic and pants were done with both different and like-colored pants. We are mot yet sure which was more common. The tunics seem mostly short lengths. The lengths varied. A common lehgth was halfway between the waist and knee, looking somewhat like long shirts. They were often worn with belts, giving a military look. Most tunic suits were done with long pants. We notice both plain tunic suits as well as some done with a range of fancy detailing. The tunic suit we see in the early 60s seem rather plain, but we see more elaborate detailing by the end of the decade. We are still working on the age ranges. The boys eweating tuics seem to be pre-teen ages.
