There's just something about this studio photo that speaks volumes. Fancy outfits, bare feet - a sign of the time and place?

Many of the photo studio's had nice cloths for people to put on for their pictures because they didn't have any. They would save and scrape together what little money they had for a picture. Probably what happened here. On the bright side they must have had parents who loved them enough to make the sacrifice! There is a lesson in this picture.

I had never heard that! :) My thought is that they were really loved since the family pulled together enough money for the picture . . . thank you for the insight!

That was my first thought too...borrowed clothes.

Yes and the dolls, balls, sailboats etc. that the kids held were also props.

Or maybe the photographer didn’t want shoes on that lovely fur.

I think the attitude towards shoes for children was a lot different at one time....I have a picture of my father at age 6...that would have been about 1910....all dressed up, and no shoes....And it's actually happening again. Baby shoes seem to be completely out of style !!!

Shoes were also expensive and not something that Mother or Grandmother could make.
