Figure 1.--This German family portrait is undated. It looks like it was taken during the 1910s, probably during World War I. We say this because of the father's or more likely older brother's uniform. We think that before the War, he would have dressed more formally for a family portrait. His uniform here looks more like a field uniform than a dress uniform. His son wears a striped sailor suit.

Notice that the belt matches the detailing on the collar. He looks to be about 13-14 years old. Noye the bow, rather unusual for Germany. His little sister wears a simple white dress with a sailor "V" collar. Mother wears a blouse and skirt.
