Found at Couleurs.
Addendum: A tip of MY hat to shibori78, who discovered a similar hat in a photo of a young woman from lower Saxony:
"Phot. Fr. Wehde, Bückeburg - Stadthagen, Germany, ca1905-10. Young woman wearing the traditional Westerten (Bückeburg) costume (Bückeburg is a small town in Lower Saxony, Germany, on the border with North Rhine Westphalia.)"
I've seen something similar somewhere -- just can't remember where. It may indicate a particular region in old Germany.
ReplyDeleteSouth Eastern Europe, 1910's?
ReplyDeleteI'd vote for a Slavonic country, judging by the look of the fellow and the Eastern-European-looking outfit on the woman.
ReplyDeleteI did some research and it appears that this is an example of German folk dress, specifically from Buckeburg. Here's a photo with the exact same hat:
