U.S. School Clothes: Columbus School, Colorado County, Texas


Figure 1.--This AZO photo postcard portrait shows what looks like 1st graders all decked out in their best outfits. They attend Columbia School in Cleveland Ohio. The portrait is not dated, but looks like the 1910s to us. The AZO four triangles ip stamp box give us a range of 1904-18. The mix of lace-up and button shoes suggest the late-1900s or early-10s and the knickers suggest the 1910s. So we would guess the portait was taken in the early-10s. The girls wear light-colored dresses with low waists, looking rather like tunic suits. Many have great hairbows. Most of the boys wear suits. One boy wears a sweater. Other just wear white shirts abd ties. The boys in front wear knickers. Put your cursor on the imge to see the rest of the class.
