treeseed commented on the word jenny lind trunk
Jenny Lind Trunks have a distinctive hour glass or keyhole shape when viewed from the side. They were named after the Swedish singer of the same name (and figure) who toured America in the mid 19th Century along with PT Barnum. In fact, she was well-known to carry a trunk of this style with her while on the road, and they became quite popular even though they were only made for a relatively short period of time (1855-1865.)
