We wears Figure 1.--This unidentified Hungarian boy had his portrait taken, we think in the early-1930s. He looks to be about 5 years old. The boy wears a short pahnts velvet suit with Fauntleroy touches, white long stoickings, and strap shoes. The photographer has signed the paper frame, but we can not make it out. Notice the buttons on the shorts, still a common device for dressy suits. He has a Fauntleroy blouse with a modest collar.

The Fauntleroy suit was a hugely popular American and British style, but much less popular on the Continent. . Our Hungaian archive is very limited. We thus do not know just how common Fauntleroy suits were in Hungary. Of course Germany and Austria were major influences, but our 19th century archive is nearly non-existent. But we do not see many Fauntleroy suits in Germany and Austria either. We do note a few 20th cehntury images. These are vestages of the Fauntleroy style among wealthy families in the inter-War era. We see the same phenomenon in Germany and Austria. They were sometimes worn with white long stockings, something not seen in the 19th century. We see some of this in America as well. The 1930s portrait here is a good example. He looks to be about 5 years old. The boy wears a short pahnts velvet suit with Fauntleroy touches, white long stockings, and strap shoes. The photographer has signed the paper frame, but we can not make it out. Notice the buttons on the shorts, still a common device for dressy suits. He has a Fauntleroy blouse with a modest collar.
