United States Boys' Clothes: 1919 Pennsylvania City Family


Figure 1.--Here we have a wonderful photograph of a Pittsburgh family in 1919. An interesting front porch scene in 1919 in Piitsburgh showing the Wymard family with their three children.

Here we have a wonderful photograph of a Pittsburgh family in 1919. An interesting front porch scene in 1919 in Piitsburgh showing the Wymard family with their three children. The boy sitting on the railing wears a knee pants suit (or is it an above-the-knee-knicker suit?) with long black stockings. He seems to be about 10 or 11 years old. The younger brother sitting on the steps wears a knee pants suit with matching trousers and dark shirt and long white (or possibly beige) stockings. The younger boy seems to be about 6 years old. This is very much a lower-income middle-class family, apparently.
