Figure 1.--This illustration is an illustration about Tolstoy's book "Childhood". It is one of his loosely autobiographoical works, but is a fictional story based on his own
upbringing. It shows a boy arriving at a boarding school. (Leo himself was utored at home.) It depicts a loving pupil teacher relationship. In lessons a boy of about 10 years old was likely to have worn a jacket, long sleeved white shirt. No tie was worn but the shirt was opened at the neck and the shirt collar was over the jacket top.
