Biography

Primary is a generic name for several different body styles of the mid-19th century. There are many variations of this basic shape.

Some have uninterrupted vertical panels as in the Jacob Furnival child's pieces. Others may have a single straight line at the waist, or several lines belting the waist; diamond-styled vertical panels; or split vertical panels.
