New Zealand Boys' Clothes: Johnston Family (about 1905-10)


Figure 1.--Mr, and Mrs. Johnston of New Zealand and their four children are seen here in a snapshot. The photo is undated but from the mother's long dress and the father's stiff detachable collar, I think this must be from the early 20th century, probably about 1905-10. Their teenage son (about 15 or 16?) wears a formal dress-up dark suit. The pants are a little difficult to make out. They are either straight-leg knee pants or above-the-knee knickers. All the children wear black long stockings. We aren't sure of the exact location within the country unfortunately.
