Norwegian Boys' Clothes: Garments



Figure 1.--This CDV portrait was taken in Drammen, Norway by C. Matthiesen. The unidentified boy wears a suit that might just as well been worn by and English or Germany boy. He wears a cut-away jacket with long pants. Botice the small collar. It is not dated, but looks like the 1860s to us.

We have very little information on Norwegian boys suits at this time. Wecdo not know of any destinctive Norwegian styles. We think that they were similar to suits worn in England and Germany. But can only be confirmed as we acquire motr Norwegian images for our archive.
