An essential personal tools for men before modern indoor electricity, the mirrors were made with beveled and scalloped glass panels crafted to refract candlelight or morning window illumination directly onto a face. Easily carried between rooms, they were often packed into travelers' trunks, or hung in Civil War military encampments. See the full collection of shaving mirrors here.
