Boys' Suits: Country Trends--Unknown Countries: Image 3


Figure 1.-- Here we have a group of boys who look to be about 7-8 years old. We at first thought they were English and this was a school group because they are about the same age. We thought that they were English because the photographer was Tony Boxall, a British amateur photographer that made a name for himself photographing gypseys after building a personal relationship with them. Most of his photographs were taken in Britain, but he also traveled in Europe taking photographs there. And the boys here are not dressed like any groupos of British boys we have ever seen. They are wearing collar buttoning suit jackets. We are guessing the boys might be German or Belgian.

We are thinking that they may be a First Communion group, but there are no decorative items often associated with First Communion. There is no uniform, but clearly there some instructions have been given. The boys are all wearing suits and they are all short pants suits. You do not see that kind of conformity without direction.
