Czech Children (1935)


Figure 1.-- This snapshot is dated 1935, and shows two Czech children, probably siblings, eating rasberries or some seasonal fruit. The boy is about 11 years old, his sister seems to be about 10. I'm not sure which is the elder child, but they are close in age. The boy wears a short-sleeved knit sports shirt buttoned at the collar.

This snapshot is dated 1935, and shows two Czech children, probably siblings, eating rasberries or some seasonal fruit. The boy is about 11 years old, his sister seems to be about 10. I'm not sure which is the elder child, but they are close in age. The boy wears a short-sleeved knit sports shirt buttoned at the collar. Some mothers insisted on this. Notice the short trousers held up by fairly wide elastic suspenders and the ribbed cotton knee socks with built-in elastic tops to hold them in place. Some boys wore suspender shorts, but asctual suspenders like this were also common. Notice that the suspenders button on to buttons on the outside of the trousers. The girl wears a dress with white collar and ankle socks. These are probably school clothes, although the photo appears to have been taken in the summer. Again we don't know the children's names or the precise location within Czechoslovakia, but we do know the date.
