U.S. First Communion Suits: Unidentified Boy (Unknown location, 1952)


Figure 1.-- This American boydid his First Communion in 1952. Unfortunately that is all we know about him. Dad took his photograph outside their home, presumably before driving to church for the ceremony. He wears a white floppy bow. This had been common earlier, but we rarely see it after the early 50s.

He wears a white floppy bow. This had been common earlier, but we rarely see it after the early 50s. Boys were more likely to wear bow ties or neckties. The boy wears a long pants suit as was becoming common in America.
