Figure 1.--Here we see a First Communion portrait, we think in the 1930s. We are not sure about the country. But we think it is a Catholic country in southern Europe. The boy wears traditionsal white short pants sailor suit with white knee socks. We think the most likely country is southern Europe, perhaps Croatia. Given the style of the sailor suit, it is not Germany. We supose it could be Italian or Spanish, but the posing is unlike what we generally seen in those countries and more like Yugoslavia. The same is true of the postcard back although there is no printing there. Sailor suits eerepopulsr Furst Communion outfits in southerrn Europe.
