Up for your consideration is another marvelous Dakota Prairie Treasures Spiral Bound Book Republication™ of the original, "Art of Hair Work, Dressing Hair, Making Curls, Switches, Braids and Hair Jewelry of Every Description " by Mark Campbell!

This is a absolute historical gem for both the current creators of hair work jewelry, etc., students and researches of this virtually lost art and those who just love to study the lifestyle and arts of European and American of the mid-19th century.

An excerpt:

"Heretofore the Art of making these goods has been jealously guarded by a few dealers, who have accumulated fortunes, and would still retain it a profound secret but for the publication of this book. This is the only descriptive volume ever published on Hair Work. It is an elaborate, carefully prepared book, containing over one thousand drawings, devices and diagrams, engraved at great expense to the publisher and accompanied with the most comprehensive instructions. It not only reveals to the most ordinary comprehension the hero concealed mysteries of the Art, but will prove an indispensable adjunct to every lady's toilet table, as by its aid she will not only be able to dress her own hair in every variety of style, but make her own Hair Jewelry and articles of Hair work, including Switches, Braids, Curls, Waterfalls, &c., assisted by a reference to plates of the most modern European and American styles. For children, no art or accomplishment is more useful than the ability to make articles of tasteful ornament in Hair Work. This work will open to all such persons a path to agreeable and profitable occupation. Jewelry Dealers, from the clear instruction herein given, can manufacture any required pattern of Hair Jewelry, and add, without extra expense, a new and lucrative branch to their business.

Persons wishing to preserve and weave into lasting mementos, the hair of a deceased father, mother, sister, brother, or child, can also enjoy the inexpressible advantage and satisfaction of knowing that the material of their own handiwork is the actual hair of the "loved and gone."

The ladies and gents of earlier times put their hands to such marvelous work using the palette braiding method!
