MAN ON TREE BOLE
c. 1925 - 1945Small black and white photo of man in suit, waistcoat and hat, standing on the left top side of a gum tree bole. Tree is in a cleared paddock, with a line of trees in middle distance.
Photo mounted on old calendar card, irregularly trimmed.
Possibly the man is Peter Salvaire.
Based on the clothing of the man in the photograph, the date suggests the early to mid-twentieth century between the 1920s and 1940s. The key fashion elements include:
• The Fedora Hat: The shape, brim width, and style of the fedora he is wearing were staples of men's everyday outdoor attire during this era.
• The Tailored Suit Jacket & Waistcoat: Wearing a full three-piece suit (including a formal buttoned vest/waistcoat) out in a rural paddock reflects the rigid dress standards of the early 1900s through the 1940s, before casual attire became acceptable for outdoor tasks.
• High-Waisted, Wide Trousers: The silhouette of his pants—sitting high on the natural waist with a relatively loose, straight cut through the leg—is characteristic of standard menswear from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s.
