Boys' Historical Clothing: New Pages--February 2017

Figure 1.--This is an unidentified Japnese family we think during the early-20th century, probably the 1910s. The Los Angeles County Museum of Natuaral History identified them as 'Japanese in California'. We are not sure about this. It may be a portrait sent to relatives in California. The boys are wearing their school uniforms, clerly a school in Japan. (Japan at the time was the only country in Asia with a public school system.) There clearly is a Western influence. The father wears a Western suit and the little girl a Western dress. This is a little unusual, often the boys were more likly to wear Western dress than the girls. It is possible of course a Japanese family in California dressed up in traditional clothing for a family portrait, we doubt, however, that the boys would have dressed up in Japanese school uniforms.

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 us know if you have any question about this HBC feature.
