Figure 1.--This primary school class photo was taken in Bonefro, a small town about 250 kms east of Rome. There are 30 boys who look to be about 6-7 years old with their teacher. Center front is a girl in a white dress that that seems a bit older. We are not sure what she is doing there. She could be the teacher's daughter. The children are wearing regular clothing. we do not see any smocks. Most of the boys wear suits, both collar buttoning and lapel styles. One boy wears a sailor suit. Short pants were beginning to become common in Europe at thus time, but these boys wore both long pants or longish knee pants. Several of the boys seem to be wearing what look like awards of som kind. At least two of the boys are barefoot.
