Photo of a student in the circle of friends, 1910s

The original photo format postcard in excellent condition. The appearance of the student (in entrevernes series) typical of the decades preceding the October revolution. At that time, the wearing of uniforms for students was not compulsory. However, they preferred to wear somewhat simplistic costume, where shaped objects were present in only a hat and jacket, and Holodnoe time of year and also coat. This suit was wearable, practical, cheap (there was a whole system of resale costumes graduates undergraduates), and at the same time clearly indicated the affiliation to the student, which in itself gave a certain position in society. According to the material of the tabs (black velvet) and light (probably light blue) beading on the lapels, collar and counter-chase, pictured studying in one of the technical schools. To valve counter-ring is clearly visible letter "And" a wreath with the Imperial crown. Presumably, the character learns at the Polytechnic Institute, but in what – we have not succeeded. Great story. The guarantee of authenticity.
