An 1885 Article on Hair-Device Workers

For those with a fascination for the obscure history of hair work, I'm delighted to present one of my favorite old articles, offering intriguing insights into this unique practice in its historical context.

“Hair Device Workers” was first published in the July 1885 issue of The Cornhill Magazine, London.

Copies can be located in public domain archives, but for ease, I’ve made a free PDF of the article available HERE.

Enjoy!
