??? Woycik (United States, about 1920s)


Figure 1.-- Here we have a photo podstcard odf a boy in a sailor suit and atching cap. It looks to us like a modestly priced sailor suit. It was taken at the M. Zalkoff Photo Studio / Division St Chicago. On the back seems to be written, "Woycik boys?" We think that may be the boy's family name. Put the cursor on the imge to see the back of the card.

Here we have a photo postcard of a boy in a sailor suit and matching cap. Presumably they were blue.These sailor suits were very popular, but the cap style is not one of the more ommon styles worn with them. Many boys this afe in the 1920s wore shortpants or knickers, but sailor suits were dne with both short pants and long pants. The boy's outfit looks to us like a modestly priced portrait as well as a moderately priced sailor suit. It was taken at the M. Zalkoff Photo Studio / Division St Chicago. On the back seems to be written, "Woycik boys?" We think that may be the boy's family name. Presumably his parents were Polish immigrants. Chicago of course had a substantial Polish community. The AZO stamp box (to arrows up and two down) tells us that the portrait was probably taken during the 1920s.
