But without a larger archive we have no way of knowing how common this particular style was. This little boy had long ringlet curls with curled bangs. He wears high button shoes, knee pants and long stocking. The trike would hazve been a studio prop. The studio is J.H. Hall in Woodstock, New Brusnswick. Note his cap on the handlebars.

Most of the images of American boys wearing ringlets come from the 1880s-1900s. We do not have enough Canadian images to assess the popular syles. We see images like an unidentified New Brunsick boy with curled bangs in the 1880s. But without a larger archive we have no way of knowing how common this particular style was.
