Additional Details

Illustrated with 24 photographs of hairstyles for gentlemen, ladies, and boys. The haircuts were performed and documented by barber Theodore Nathaniel Barnes (1903-1977) of Philadelphia, who then produced this poster for distribution to barber shops. He worked at this 4732 Mulberry Street address from at least 1950 onward. This poster was likely produced before the 1963 introduction of the zip code. No other examples traced.
