This is a photograph of a wealthy French family at the end of World War I in 1918. They are the Trogoff
family and they owned the Château de Giraudaye. Pictured here are Yves (age 47), Raymond (age 12), Cath (age 13), Suze (age 7), Elisabeth dite "Pépée" (age 10), and Cécile (née Pontbriand de la Caunelaye, age 44). Not pictured is an another family member who ingerited the Château. The two youngest girls wear pinafore-type dresses. Two of the girls have hair bows. Raymond wears a collar buttoning kneepants suit. He has a detachable stiff, white collar made in the Peter-Pan rather than Eton style and worn with a small floppy bow. Notice that Raymond wears short socks. Almost all American boys of Raymond's age at this time wore suits with long stockings. British boys more commonly wore knee socks. Short socks like Raymond wore weee a destibctive continental fashion. I am not sure what he is holding. One of the girls and mother for some reason holds a can. You can see Pierre's family in 1930 at the Château.
