Children's Clothing of the American Civil War Period  Photograph from the collection of Juanita Leisch ©Juanita Leisch, 2002 The boy at the upper left has graduated to a lapel-less jacket while his presumed sibling still wears shirt-and-pants. Similarly, the boy at the upper right has a sibling who still wears an open jacket. The presumed twins at the middle left show individual personalities, as one wears his coat buttoned, the other unbuttoned. With the boy at the middle right, we see a glimpse of the suspenders (or braces) that held the pants up now that they weren't being buttoned to the shirt. The boy at the lower left wears a handkerchief in his pocket, but we can only imagine what is in the pocket of he the boy at the lower right. |
