The photographic industry and number of images expanded in the 1850s. Of ciourse nothing like what was o come, but far more images than before photograph was invented. We have more images and new formats, including the less expensive Ambrotypes and Daguerreotypes. The English royals of course impacted their British subjects more than America, but British fashion trends had a major impact on American fashion. American mothers, especially fashion conscious mothers, looked to England and Europe for their fashion inspiration. Some began adopting kilts for their sons. We have found some limited evidence of that in the photographic record. The earliest Highland suit we have found so far dates to the late-1850s. It was an Ambrotype from Mobil Alabama. there were also some kilt suits.
