Talk about gender confusion - I'd a sworn this young lad was a girl. It's a great card! I have seen photos of young kids in New York around the first of the 20th century all very seriously smoking pipes!

Adorable Marie! Great post! Léia

I'm guessing the pipe was only a prop, like some parents think it's "funny" to take pics of a kid holding a beer. But those pants... Oh my.

Those shoes look a tad bit uncomfortable. I wonder if he will light up and smoke it or if it's just a prop?

Aha! See, I knew smoking was cool! :P

Hi Marie,

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a sweet comment. :) I adore your blog and have added myself as a follower. I'm very fond of old portraits, and anything of the past.

Interesting i just read a book about the rural community change during the 17 to 19 century of France. Very likely we would only see boys in this costume only for tourist even in 1900 already, just like if we visit any exotic places now.

I never would have guessed that was a boy.

Lovely image, Marie.
In fact I read: La première pipée - Jeune Breton bourrant sa pipe. I think a pipe is a bit out of place with a child: not because it's a bad thing but just because it's an eyesore (for me)! :-)

I agree with Chuck Pefley...how odd... however, it...

I agree with Chuck Pefley...how odd... however, it does go with the MC Hammer dancing pants though!

I'm very interested in traditional costumes at the moments, having just tried my hand at making two costumes for Midsommar Festival. Would love to see more like this!
