We miss our collections, so this month we are revisiting a few favorites from the archive.
Friendship albums first became popular in the United States in the 1820s, and were especially popular among young people. This album, compiled by Margaret Williams, includes a few wonderful examples of woven hair art made from locks of hair from her closest friends. In this time of social distancing, these cherished and sentimental odes to friendship seem especially poignant.
