We see both tunic suits and ringlet curls throughout the 19th century. The popularity of both varied throghout he century and the various for each followed a separate path. Our chronological information is incomplete, in part because photography was not yet invented in the early-19th century. After the invention of photography (1839), We see a few boys wearing tunics with ringlet curls. Our information, however, is limited for mid-century because of the still fairly limited number of Daguerreotype and Ambrotype images oroduced. We notice a number of boys wearing tunics, but few have ringlet curls. We know much more after the introduction of albumen CDVs and cabinet cards (1860s). Tunics were very popular, but we see reltively few boys wearing them with ringlets. Most of the images we have found come from the late-19th century or very early-20th century. Ringlet curls were not a major hair style worn with tunic suits, but we do note a number of boys with ringlets. Many of thge examples we have found come from the very early-20th century. This is probably because the tunic suit declined somewhat in poularity during the 1880s and 90s when ringlet curls were especially popular.
