Scope and Content

(AI)1. Hair and Hairstyle (The 1830s–1840s) The most telling feature is her hairstyle. The "Apollo Knot" and Sausage Curls: The hair is parted sharply down the middle, smoothed flat against the top of the head, and falls into tight, structured ringlets or "sausage curls" on either side of the face. This specific style was immensely popular from the late 1830s through the 1840s (early Victorian era).
