EDITORS COMMENTS
This absurd women's hairstyle from the 18th century is a true testament to the extravagance and creativity of fashion during that time. The intricate engraving by Albert Robida captures the essence of a hairstyle that defies gravity and logic, showcasing curls, ribbons, and decorations piled high on top of the head.
The satirical nature of this illustration adds an extra layer of humor to the already outlandish design. It is clear that this hairstyle was not meant for practicality or everyday wear, but rather as a statement piece to showcase wealth and status.
In a time where fashion was used as a form of expression and social commentary, hairstyles like these were not uncommon. Women would go to great lengths to achieve elaborate looks that pushed boundaries and challenged societal norms.
Looking at this print today, we can appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such an extravagant hairstyle. It serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of fashion and how trends come in cycles throughout history.
Overall, this engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insight into the creative minds behind 18th-century fashion choices.
