We have found a few images of boys wearing school smocks which we can not identify as to the country involved. Often the country is obvious from the style of the smock even if the county is mot idntified. Here colors, cut, and collars are all factors. Many countries had very destinctive smock styles, although this commonly changed over time. Other countrirs had more genreric styles. And facial chaacteristics, bckground, amd photographic chracteistics can provide som clus. Some images we can just not figure out. In some cases we can narrow down the country to a few alternatives, but cannot be sure about the specific country. Belgian and Fench smocks are hard to destinguish. Spanish and Portuguese smocks are also difficult to destinguish. Here we hope that our European readers can help identify the country. .
This family backyard snapshot shows an unidentified European boy in his light-blue school smock (figure 1). We are not sure about the country, but the style of the smock to us suggests Portugal. Southern Spain is another possibility. The photograph was taken in 1972.
This photograph shows an unidentified school class somewhere in Europe. The boys and girls both wear smocks, but different styles. The girls wear back-buttoning smocks with white collars. The boys wear labcoat style smocks. They look to be the same color. The image comes from a dealer oftenhandling Yugoslav images. But we have seen many Yugoslav school images and the children do not wear smocks. We are thinking that thy may be Hingarian. We know hat smocks were orn in Hungarian schools. The photograph is not dated, but it looks like the 1950s to us.
