This photograph shows three Sweedish brothers posing at home, perhaps in Skockholm, although we aren't certain of the precise location. The photograph is not dated, butv looks like the 1920s ti us. The boys seem to be about 8/9, 11, and 14 years old respectively. The youngest boy is dressed in a summer sailor suit (probably with long black stockings as was the usual style). The middle boy looks about 11 and is wearing a white shirt and bow tie (also probably with short trousers and long stockings). The older 14 year-old is dressed more like an adult with double breasted dark suit, white shirt and tie except forthe short trousers, also worn with black long stockings. The age-grading is interesting here with clothing appropriate to the boys'age. The oldest boy is almost grown up but his status as a child is maintained here by the short trousers and long stockings. In a year of two he will probably graduate to long trousers. We suspect this photo was taken in a rather affluent, upper-class family, probably by the father of the three boys.
