I think that this picture does a great job of depicting social class. It shows a group of boys, two of whom are in a wealthy class and three of whom are obviously poorer, but not too poor. I think it really shows the difference between the classes, even though the boys are so young.

The wealthier boys are holding themselves better. They are standing up straight and wearing nice clothes. They look clean. Their hair is cut. Their clothes fit them. One thing I realized is that they're not looking at the other boys. It may have just been that the photograph was taken when the boys were looking the other way. However, I think it is very interesting that the one boy is facing the complete opposite direction and the other is staring off, not looking at the other boys, with a hand in his pocket and his other hand on a post supporting him. I also think it's interesting that the smaller boy has a cane. He could have a medical condition, but to me it doesn't look it. These two boys look like the wealthy class men we so often see pictures of from this time period. Suits, top hats, ties, and a cane.

The other boys look much different compared to the wealthy boys. Their hair is disheveled, their clothes are too big, and they look a little dirty. It is shocking to see how different these boys are from the wealthy boys, despite them being around the same age. Their body language is more reserved. They're not standing as straight and they all have both of their hands in their pockets. Also, each of them is looking at the wealthy boys. To me, it looks like they're intrigued by these boys.

I thought this picture was very interesting when I found it. It is a picture of a group of young boys from the early 1900s, but it really shows the difference between social classes at that time. Even though I don't think the poorer boys were the poorest there was, it still shows how different the classes can be, even if they're close to each other.
