Diana's 'kneeling boy' series (1913-1930?).
This was a long-running series of newspaper adverts which started before WW1 and ended before WW2 featuring a standing man and kneeling boy. The company adjusted the clothing of both depending on the period - adding military uniforms or more civilian-looking clothing at other times.
Dianawerke is listed as being at either Rastatt 1, 2, 3, or 15, which may give a clue to the dates.
