American Peter Pan Collars: 19th Century Chronology--The 1850s

Peter Pan collar
Figure 1.--This Massachusetts boy was painted by a well kmown naive artist we think in the 1850s. Photography at the time was putting naive artists like Joseph Goodhue Chandler out of business. The cut-away jacket was becoming an important style for younger boys. Peter Pan collars were on of the popular styles, althoiugh the term was not yet used. .

Collars could still be full size in the 1850s. We note naive/folk artists depicting Peter Pan collars in the mid-19 century. A good examole is a boy who may be named Koby Salleny (writing indistinct). We see these collars being worn with cut-away jackets. They were easy to detect, because neckwear was modest. The naive artists that produced such images now had serious competition. In fact after thec 1850s we see far fewer of these images. They simply could not compete with the camera. Even folk artists charged far more than a photographic studio which could provide stynningly acurate images. Through the 1850s, the number of images were modest but substantially greater than painted portraitsm was still modest. Photography had began increasing this somewhat with the Daguerrotype in the 1840s, but numbers were still limited. In the 1850s we begin to see tin-types and Amnbrotypes inceasing the number of images. But without negatives, numbers were still limited. Only with albumen porocess with created nagatives (1860s) do we be begun to see really large numbers of images.
