United States Boys' Clothes: The Family Car-Affluent Family (Early 1910s)


Figure 1.-- Here we have a portrait of an unidentified american family out for what looks like a Sunday drive after church. The family is all done up in their Sunday best. The portrait is undated, but looks to us like he early 1910s. We do not recognize the make and date of the automobile, but car experts could probably identify it. The family all seems to be enjoying their Sunday drive. The driver has what looks like a chaufer's cap, but we are not sure if he is the chaufer or the father. The pose does not suggest a chaufr to us. The mother is pictured with a great period hat. There are four children who look about 5-13 yeats of age. The girls wear white dresses with hair bows. One girl wears socks and the other stockings. The younger boy wears a traditional sailor suit with white sicks. His older brother wears a knickets suit with what may be a Boy Scout hat and black long stockings.

The background appears to be a weaping willow tree, suggesting a wide ramge of possible locations.
