Figure 1.-- This class portrait shows a 1918 portrait of the Lorne Street Primary School in Leith near Edinburgh. We would guess they are 3rd year students about 8 years old. The girls seem to be wearing dresses, but it is difficult to tell. One girl wears sailor dresses. Only one girl wears a gym frock. Many of the girls have hair bows. The boys wear mostly colored shirts and ties with short pants and knee socks. Grey shirts were common in England. Some of the may be grey, but many look darker, black or navy blue. Horizontal stripe ties were popular. Several boys wear suits. Only one boy wears a sweater. And onkly bine boy wears an Eton collar. Two boys seems to be wearing sneakers. One boy is barefoot. That would hve been seen as aign of poverty. The studio was J.R.Coltart in Leith They also had a studio in London. The cabinet card has a photograph measuring 5 7/8 by 3 3/4 inches on a backing card of 7 3/4 by 7 inches.
