DescriptionBaby books like this 1898 example document the birth and development of a child’s early years. During this time, taking samples of a child’s hair to include in a baby book could perhaps be explained in the interest of charting growth through follicle length or as a nice memento. This book lists also Christmas gifts for 1910.On View
