A sign of the well-off

Two sets of matching coats, dresses and shoes. Not a hand-me-down in sight. Still, not a smile in sight either.

And not a smile among them

Maybe they were all concerned because of the strife of the World War then underway, but this does not appear to be a happy, fun-loving, smiling family, at least when they're being photographed.

Or maybe they all don't like "cheese" as the photographer probably was saying.
