Re: [Cz-L] Politically incorrect, but beautiful photo

Dear Irene,

I too found this picture fascinating. Without trying to read too much
into it, one can't fail to notice several reveaing details. Most boys
would pose as a sailor, a cowboy or something similarly "romantic" for
a picture like this, this boy poses as a businessman (if a somewhat
cartoonish one). Definite signs of the upper-class background: long
and well cared for hair, starched and pressed pajamas, and,
interestingly, Czernowitzer Allgemeine Zeitung - the more exclusive of
two major German papers in Czernowitz (the other one - Czernowitzer
Morgenblatt - was more "democratic"). But the most interesting part is
the look on his face, very businesslike and cynical. The boy was a
good actor.
