They are, however, a different set though the costumes and poses are almost identical, down to the cap and book held by the boy and the scroll held by the girl.<br /><br />With the latter we find an intriguing difference: in your picture, the scroll holds the date of the school's foundation, whereas in mine it bears the dates of the most recent repaintings!<br /><br />I assume the scroll of the St Andrew's girl also originally carried the foundation date. Rather a pity then, that it has been over-painted.<br /> SilverTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829890798571330705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-8273781149042308382012-02-20T11:09:27.098+00:002012-02-20T11:09:27.098+00:00Little children always scares me, but this ones ar...Little children always scares me, but this ones are super cute. I've seen them around and is great to know that the reason to stand forever outside their schools is to show their uniforms.
