I trust they were all checking their white privilege back then?
Why are the women holding their arms in that fashion? Are they holding something? Even the young girls do it……

excuse my ignorance, but do they guess the colour to pick, or does the black and white photo leave strong clues as to what the colour should have been?
some of it is guesswork but there are plenty of records of what dyes were available to people at the time. Extremely limited. Pale grey, navy/dark purple and dark green made up the bulk of the colours work by folk. White and black clothes were expensive to make and maintain so were kept for special occasions, same with bright colours. If you turned up in the village wearing a bright orange hat, you’d be the talk of the town.
Good question and good intelligent answer.
Why can’t it always be like this.
Sigh.
the one family?
If it weren’t for the more comfortable dwellings, you’d swear it was Stoneybatter lately.
LOL that is actually true- that shabby peasant look is all over the place.
It’s gone from skinny tight everything to ten sizes too big.
