EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the late 19th century, showcases an intriguing moment in the evolution of personal grooming and self-care rituals. Entitled "The Modern Invention - The Art of Puffing," this image transports us back in time to an era when the simple act of applying makeup became an art form. The woman in the photograph, dressed in elegant attire, gazes intently into a mirror as she meticulously applies makeup to her face. The mirror, a prized possession, reflects not only her image but also the changing times, as the use of cosmetics began to gain popularity among women from all walks of life. The tools of her trade are laid out on the table before her - a collection of puffs, brushes, and jars of various powders and pigments. The puff, a modern invention, was a game-changer in the application of makeup, allowing for a smoother, more even finish. With a gentle press and a soft, rhythmic puffing motion, she transforms herself, enhancing her natural beauty and expressing her individuality. This photograph, from The Boswell Collection at Bexley Heritage Trust, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the enduring allure of self-care and the transformative power of makeup. The art of puffing, once a modern invention, has stood the test of time and continues to be an essential part of our daily routines today.
