Figure 1.--This unidentified American family was photographed on what looks like an early Spring outing. There is no information associated with the family snapshot. Writing on the back suggests it was taken in 1932, but we are not entirely sure. We see the mother and father plus an extra man and three children. The children all wear caps. The girl has a stocking cap. The boys look like they are wearing berets, but we don't think so. The older boy seems to be wearing a flatcap sideways which is a little strange.

We are not sure about the younger boy. The girl wears a shirt and skirt. The boys have different sweaters, a turtke neck and sleeveless sweater. The children wear lon stockings, knee socks, amd ankle socks. All three children have oxford shoes. We suspect that they were a well-to-do family. Most American boys wore knickers in the 1930s. Shorts were most common among younger boys and afflunt families.
