Everyone,
Does anyone know what style trousers this kid is wearing? It was lifted from a pic of young fisherman from New Haven Ct. That was photographed by David Octavius Hill. I found it while going through the collection Mrs. Baur posted the other day. They appear to be a 19th century relative to the sea breeches worn by sailors from the 17th century up through the 18th century. However, all comments, etc. are welcome. BTW is it me, or does it look like they used binding on the hems instead of hemming them?
Thanks,
Adam Cripps
