David's Cousins: Regent's Park (1900s)
Figure 1.--On a rather different occasion, we find the family in Regent's Park. The boys are dressed much as they were on the prom at Southend. Notice that the younger boy wears a sailor cap, but the older boy a flat cap. Compare this with the boys in the background who are wearing peaked caps watching a cart-horse parade.

On a rather different occasion, we find the family in Regent's Park. This of course is one of the best-loved London parks. The London Zoo which children love is located here. Regent's Park is located in central London. Thus most children would not have visited the park on their own. Visits would have been family outings like the one pictured here. Presumably it was Sunday. The boys are dressed much as they were on the prom at Southend. Notice that the younger boy wears a sailor cap, but the older boy a flat cap. Compare this with the boys in the background who are wearing peaked caps watching a cart-horse parade at Regent's Park in London. Notice all the barrels. Judging by the way everyone is wrapped up, it wasn't all that warm. The trees (not shown in this cropped photo) are in leaf, so it's not actually during the winter.
