Figure 1.-- Here we see the Richard family with their three children taken in early 1927. We are mot sure where they lived, but we would guess they were a middle-class city family. The oldest boy Paul is about 9 years old. His younger siblings are about 7 and 4 respectively. Paul wears a knicker suit with the new patterned knee golf knee socks that were beginning to come into fashion.

The oldest boy Paul is about 9 years old. His younger siblings are about 7 and 4 respectively. Paul wears a knicker suit with the new patterned knee golf knee socks that were beginning to come into fashion. The knickers don't blouse very much which makes them almost like above-the-knee knickers in appearance, although we can see the band just below the knee (probably a buckle and strap fastening). The youngest boy wears an Eton short trousers and ankle socks. Notice the white collar, somewhat like an Eton collar. The photo looks very middle class and was probably taken in the family living room. Daddy seems to be wearing white or very light-colored socks, not very fashionable.
