Child Sailor's Uniform Cut-Out Paper Moon Real Photo Postcard

Sailor suits, popularized by Queen Victoria dressing her son Albert Edward in one in the 1840s, became a pervasive fashion for children, particularly boys, from the late 19th into the early 20th century. This attire symbolized a blend of patriotism, adventure, and perceived cleanliness, remaining a popular choice for formal portraits and everyday wear during this period. The use of fanciful studio props like moons and stars was also a common trend in early 20th-century portrait photography, injecting an element of fantasy and charm into sittings.
