Here are some very rare illustrations of winter 1892 fashions for “little folks”. “Child’s sack” and a little girl’s coat are illustrated, as well as petticoats (princess style), night drawers with stockings, and moccasins/slippers. This series of scans also includes a brief section on Styles for Boys and Men, which details a little boy’s suit (with attached vest), men’s undershirt, and men’s under drawers. Not much space, compared to all the dress illustrations, was devoted to men or children in this early 1890s fashion magazine issue!
