Self-instructor in the art of hair work, dressing hair, making curls, switches, braids, and hair jewelry of every description
A trade manual compiled by Mark Campbell and published in New York in 1867, teaching hairdressers and home craftworkers to braid, weave and mount human hair into jewelry and ornaments. Wood-engraved plates pair numbered bobbin-position diagrams—circles divided by radiating spokes and lettered A-D—with strips of finished plait shown as dense chevron and rope textures.
