[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 9470679, member: 33"]I'll bet that Jenny Lind herself never wore the type of clothing in either figurehead (Original post or on etsy)! But the ship was named after her. Based on the styles that can be discerned in the original post above, their clothing and hair do appear to be sort of early 1840s in style. But the woman is some sort of romanticized figure. Just my opinion, though. I found this interesting site, and looked at the pics and narrative for some of these ideas. May have seen this site before but don't remember all the detail!
