We see many boys with top curls in the 1860s. This may not be the sudden increase in the popularity of the style. The appearance of CDVs in the 1860s provide us a far greater number of portraits than ever before. Dags and Ambros increased the number of images over painted portraits, but it is the CDV tht created rally large numbers of images and are easier to date than Dags and tin-types. There were some cased portrits in the early-1860s, but the decade was dominared by the CDV from a very early point. Thus we have more examples of the top roll curls. This certainly was in part because of the huge increase in the number of CDV images. But the increasing prosperoty of Americanss a result of industrialization may also have been a factor. Families with more sisposable income meant mothers had more time am money for fashion both clothes and hir styling. We have organized quite a number of tyop curl images. A good example is Charles Carr. Another good example is Herbert Lockwood about 1867. We notice two Detroit brothers, we think in the late-1860s.
