Figure 1.--We know nothing about this family portrait except that it is German. It is not dated, but looks to us to have been taken in the 1920s. The white margin on the snapshot clearly indicates the photograph was taken after Workd War I. The boy's sailor suit is difficult to date, but the girl's dress looks like the late 1920s to us.

The white margin on the snapshot clearly indicates the photograph was taken after Workd War I. The boy's sailor suit is difficult to date, but the girl's dress looks like the late 1920s to us. There are two boys. The younger boys wears a button on blouse and kneepants. The older boys wears a traditional summer sailor suit, but with dark long stockings. The family looks like a prosperous middle-class family. We have no idea where in German the photograoh was taken. The photograph provides an interesting look at a backyard. The home in the background shows that they lived in a nice neighborhood. These striped sailor suits seem popular in the 1920s and 30s.
