United States boys clothes: unidentified middle class family late-1930s
American Families: Unidentified Middle-class Family (late-1930s)
Figure 1.--This is tough one to tie down to a decade. We know it was taken in the late-30s or early-40s. They look like a family in comfortable circumstances. You can see their house in the background. We see a well dressed father and informally dressed mother--notice the fashionable pants. The woman with the fancy hat is probably grandmother. The children look to be about 3-12 years old. The yonger boy wears a striped T-shirt, shorts, and sandals. The older boy weas a double-breasted knickers suit. The girl wears a wide-brimmed hat, cape, and matching dress. We womder if it might be a school uniform. The little boy's outfit looks rather like the 40s. Thr older boy's knicker suit looks more like the 30s. We would guess the photograph was taken in the late-30s, but the very early-40s is definitely possible.
