Boys' Historical Clothing: New Pages--April 2006

Figure 1.--We have a good deal of information about how the children of King George and Queen Mary were dressed. The King liked to dress the children all alike in sailor suits. This was, however, not feasible because of the age differences. Thus many family portraits show the children dressed somewhat differently, depending primarily on age. The fact that there are group portraits show what the children wore at different ages. We don't think there were major stylistic changes to the children's clothes. The photograph here seems to be an outdoor version of the portrait at the bottom of this page. Notice how the children have signed the portrait.

Some HBC readers tell us that they would like to be able to access new pages, but do not want to receive E-mails on every new page added to HBC. We have also for several years now experienced problems dealing with AOL. Thus we have created this page for HBC readers. We will list new pages or existing pages to which we have added additional information. We used to maintain a page like this. We know from this experience that we sometimes forget to add a new page, but we will try to remember to do this as much as possible. There will not be a link on our home page so you will want to add this to your favorites/book marks. We plan to only make this page available to readers who support HBC. There may be occasional changes in the URL. Just let me know if you have any question about this new HBC feature.
