Boys' Historical Clothing: New Pages--August 2008


Figure 1.--Colorized images provide some clues as to color in the era of black-and-white photography. Of course the question arises as to the accuracy of the depictions. This American Daguerreotype was taken in the 1850s. The family was from Baltimore, Maryland. We believe the color depictions here are reasonable. Note the colorful clothes the children wear and the parents' black outfits.

HBC readers tell us that they would like to know the new pages being created. 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. We used to be able to send out alerts notifying readers of new pages, but our Internet Provider no longer allows us to do that.
