Sepia Saturday - Aprons and Bib Overalls


The Sepia Saturday Suggestion this week is a photograph of a couple women wearing aprons.

LOST GALLERY had only a few snapshots that included an apron, although some are quite interesting.

So, why don't we include some of the photographs that show bib-overalls. They are a bit like an apron, aren't they?

THE KIDS Lesson one. It is always a mystery how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.

    Gosh these are all first rate. The first boy is a lost treasure and the school children group is priceless.
    In fact all of them (except for the one from Germany) positively glow with the spirit of the American heartland.

    Ah, I should have guessed that you would have a great collection of such shots.

      Thanks Alan Burnett. There weren't as many as I thought I had. But these are pretty interesting.

    Great stuff - funny, it seems like today no one would put up with being photographed in an apron! But back then it was nothing to be ashamed of.

      Thanks Sean Bentley. I know exactly what you mean. I spent several years as a traveling supervisor for a restaurant chain. I thought nothing of donning a big apron over my dress shirt and tie to help out in a kitchen during a rush. But, I was often the subject of photographs and kidding. There is an odd stigma to aprons now. As you say, in older times it was just part of the day.
