Figure 1.-- The Huusko family lived in in southern Finland. We can't tell much about the family. We would guess that they are a farm family, but we are not sure. Here the one boy going barefoot is a clue. The other boy seems to be wearing sneakers. Both boys wear long pants which were becoming more popular throughout Europe. Notice the birch tree, a tree almost synomamous with Finland. The snap shot is undated, but was probably taken in the late-1950s. Finland at the time was making enormous economic progress. This family looks much more prosperous than family photographs taken before World War II.
