As I show people our art collection, I am always fascinated by the changing hair styles, both facial and otherwise. There are some serious chops in our collection and one of the visiting curators told me that you can date paintings pretty closely by looking at the hair… and the cravat!
Here are some of the extreme examples.
Abraham Arnold, M.D. (who looks down at me every day!)
John Blake, M.D.
J. Brown Baxley, M.D.
Thomas Hepburn Buckler, M.D.
Samuel Stringer Coale, M.D. (I just want to say, Bless his heart!)
Alexander Franklin Dulin, M.D.
Daniel Coit Gilman
Horatio Gates Jamison, M.D.
Nathan Ryno Smith, M.D. (It’s the eyebrows)
William Stokes, M.D.
Philip Thomas (To be fair, this wasn’t painted from life)
Henry Parke Custus Wilson
We hope that you’ve enjoyed our tonsorial travels through time!
