About this work

This image shows twenty-one small framed pictures arranged in rows. Each picture displays different styles of human hair—some in braids, some in loose curls, others in tight coils or hanging straight. A few are shown tied up, while others are just piled or hanging from strings. The hair looks real but is drawn or printed in black and white. Some frames have tiny labels with writing, though you can’t read them here. If you want to learn more about how these images were made, look up lithography.
