Individual U.S. School: Unidentified Jersey City School (1920-21)


Figure 1.-- We do not know the name of the school here. We do know that the school was in Jersey City, New Jersey. The portrait was taken during the 1920-21 school year. The children look to be 1st Graders or perhaps even Kindegardtners. The portrait is interesting because it shows that in the ealy 20s that children were still wearing a mixture of older early 20th century styles as well as the newer inter-War styles.

One boys wear a floppy bow and another a necktie. We see boys wearing all kinds of blouses and shirts. Many look to be button-on styles. Several boys wear sailor suits. Many have bangs. The girls wear dresses. Only a few wear hairbows. We see three-quarter socks, knee socks, and long stockings.
