Figure 1.-- This is a 1950 portrait of a happy middle class British family that they used to send as a Christmas greetings photograph; they are signed as 'The Donaldsons'. Father, mother, two sons and a daughter, all smartly dressed. The father looks like a professinal man. The children look to be about 4-11 years of age. The girl wears a smocked dress and the boys matching short pants suits. One boy looks to be eearing a white shirt, his younger brother a grey school shirt. The suits could have been worn for school, but at the time middle-class children might have suits in addition to school uniforms. Short pants suits were still standard for boys. A real image from mid-century suburbia. The portrait was taken by the A. Pollard Studio in Bexleyheath, Kent.
