Hairstyles 1840-1900 - Maureen Taylor
“Is there anyone who hasn’t had a bad hair day or obsessed about the right hairdo for a special event? Probably not, and this obsession is far from a modern phenomenon. Using the clues explained in this book, you can learn a surprising amount about your ancestors by studying their portraits.”
Maureen tells us in her most readable fashion about the unique and curious hairstyles in 19th Century . This book gives the historian great insight to fashionable ( and not so fashionable) methods of coiffure de mode and for the genealogist a great way to determine what era that illusive ancestors picture was taken. If you haven’t purchased a copy of this book yet I highly recommend you do.
