Figure 1.-- Here we have a fashionable Edwardian mother and her three children about 1-8 years old. Th older boy wears a jacket knee pants sailor suit with a jersey/sweater rather than a dickey. The collar is all white, contrasting with the dark jacket. He has socks rather than long stockings which destinguishes it from an American family. The middle boy wears a tunic suit wih a huge fancy ruffled collar. The photograph is a divided-back post-card studio portrait. It is not dated, but was probably taken about 1905-10. England was the first country to introduce divided-back postcards (1902). To see the entire family, click on the image.
