Figure 1.--Here we see a farm family, but we are not sure about the date. We think it might be the late 1940s. We see four siblings, clearly from an American farm family. The children are about 17, 14, 10, and 8 years of age, I think. |

Here we see a farm family, but we are not sure about the date. We think it might be the late 1940s. We see four siblings, clearly from an American farm family. The children are about 17, 14, 10, and 8 years of age, I think. The oldest boy wears blue jeans with wide suspenders that
button onto the outside at the waist with a summer open necked shirt. His brother wears bib overalls with an open-necked shirt with sleeves rolled up. The youngest boy wears an open shirt with cotton shorts (cut rather long to just above his knees). The girl wears a print dress with a hair ribbons. We don't where the photo was taken, but I suspect somewhere in the Middle West.
