In 1912 Norway was as an independent kingdom but still a young nation, this was something the children's parents were proud of and wanted to present their political viewpoints.

Women's hats can tell a story in itself, huge, decorated with ribbons and feathers, and some part looks more like well stocked fruit bowls! This cheerful gang visited a photographer in 1908.
