I suppose between the lead paint makeup and the constant pulling of the hair into an ellaborate coiffure, hair loss was an even more common problem than it is today.MaryJeanAdamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428581933097911371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-83383297064198552032012-08-15T11:55:19.521-04:002012-08-15T11:55:19.521-04:00What a wonderful post--love it when you can pair a...What a wonderful post--love it when you can pair a primary source with an artifact or two.
