German School Clothes:  First Day--Unidentified Boy, the 1900s


Figure 1.--These two German boys also look to be photographed in the 1900s, although the image is undated. We assume that they are brothers, both because they were photographed together and the fact that they are dressed similarly with identical tams.

These two German boys also look to be photographed in the 1900s, although the image is undated. We assume that they are brothers, both because they were photographed together. They are dressed differently with different kneepants outfits. One boy has a bow and the other a kind of knitted shirt. It is the matching tams that strongly suggest that they are broothers--presumbably their mother bought matching tams. Their body language, holding hands also suggests a big brotherlittle brother rlationship. Both boys have gift cones. But this confuses us, we thought these gift cones were just for the first day of school and the older boy looks to have begun school a year or two earlier. Yet they both have the gift cones.
