An apron for every task

"Dolls of Many Lands," (Whitman, 1932) is one of my favorite sets. 

Gretel of Holland has an apron for working in the garden, knitting and,

 of course, kitchen work.

I'm taking a wild guess on the year...but the drop waist and ribbons say the WWI era to me...

La Résistance

 From the archive of Agence Eureka...a 1940s era homage to the French Resistance, the antifascist brigade during the Nazi occupation.

Here is an overview from the Library of Congress:

"The French Resistance is a topic much examined by French historians searching to understand and highlight what was a small but fierce minority in France who operated in secret to actively resist and sabotage the Nazi invaders during WWII."
