The "Hairbow"

In my previous post I linked to a bunch of hairstyles from the New York Public Library's Digital Galleries. I decided to do a separate post on the one below because it reminded me of a style I've seen recently in a photo of Lady Gaga. Behold, the "hairbow": 

New style for dressing the hair, with details. (1870)
