Figure 1.-- This is a studio portrait of an unidntified boy and his baby sister. He looks to be about 7-years old. He wears a light-colored Norfolk suit, we think with knickers. Knickers were more common in America thn any other country. We are not sure about his shirt. He also wears white long stockings and sandals. We would guess the portrait was taken in the 1910s which is when American boys began wearing knickers. We see younger American boys wearing white long stockings in the 1900s and 10s as well as the easrly-20s when dressing up. Sandals were less popular with american boys than European boys, but we do see some American boys wearing them in the 1900s-10s. We see fewer American boys wearing sandals in the 1920s and subsequently.
