Boys' Historical Clothing: New Pages--January 2012

Figure 1.-- A Russian correspondent sent this rather interesting picture from a Soviet children's book dated 1950. Apparently he doesn't know the name of the book or the author or illustrator. But the color drawing shows an interesting domestic scene in Russia about 1950. A Russian boy, with one shoe off, is apparently crying because it is time for his bath and bedtime and he wants to stay up--a familiar household situation. The boy's clothes are interesting--a sailor blouse with blue trim and scarf, dark short trousers (suspender shorts), and tan long stockings obviously worn with a Soviet garter waist (bodice and supporters). Maybe some of our Russian readers will recognize the name of the book and the author (or even the illustrator). Our friend seemed to be fairly certain of the date (1950).

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.
