This CDV portrait shows Ferdinand Hahnzhog in his school clothes. He wears a tam with what looks like a short tunic. We think his mother would have called in a tunic (Kittelanzug) rather than a smocks. He also wears baggy bloomer knickers and probably long stockings. The book satchel tells us that it is Ferdinand'school outfit. THe portrait was taken around 1900-05. CDVs were popular in Germany longer thn in America. The studio was A. Breuning in Hanau aM (au Main) Germany The town's name is derived from 'Hagenowe' which is a composition from 'Haag' (wood) and 'Aue' (open land at the side of a river). historic core of Hanau was sited within a semi-circle of the River Kinzig which flows into the River Main just to the west. Today the town has reched the Main after a vast expansion during the 19th and 20th centuries.
