Walter Carroll
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1872

An envelope of hair from the 1870s belonging to a 3 year old Walter Carroll (1869-1955, father of Ida Carroll, teacher, composer and music education professional). Walter supported Hilda Collens in her ambitions to lead the Matthay School of Music (later to become the Northern School of Music).

Not sure how much hair a 3 year old is supposed to have but someone cut an absolute chunk off this kid.
