I blamed it on the archiving, to be honest, but I still found it sad - so many nameless people.

Fashion for children in those days decidedly struck me as odd, I included that poor girl for that very reason. She looks more like a doll than a child, and it looks as though those clothes were about as comfortable as a cardboard box. It's the same with some of the dresses up there compared to the dresses of the working women. Not that dresses are ever really that practical, but the peacock varieties always seem to be considerably worse, whereas the difference between a dolled up man and his plain clothes does not seem to be that great. But maybe I underestimate the impracticality of a male clothes of the day.
