EDITORS COMMENTS
Three Ladies Relaxing (chromolitho) captures the essence of 19th-century femininity and beauty ideals. In this enchanting print, we see three elegant women indulging in a moment of leisure and conversation. Dressed in exquisite gowns adorned with frills, bows, and beads, these ladies epitomize grace and sophistication. Their radiant smiles suggest contentment as they engage in animated discussion while holding delicate fans to cool themselves on a warm day. However, upon closer inspection, one may notice that two of the ladies are bald or experiencing hair loss—a topic rarely addressed openly during this era. This intriguing detail hints at the societal pressure placed upon women to maintain luscious locks as a symbol of beauty. It also introduces us to an advertisement subtly incorporated into the artwork: Barry's Tricopherous—a treatment promising to restore hair growth for those facing baldness. The juxtaposition between their perceived flaw and their overall stunning appearance challenges conventional notions of beauty. These confident women embrace their individuality while embracing toiletries designed to enhance their natural charm. As we admire this chromolithograph from the 19th century, it serves as a reminder that true beauty lies not only in physical perfection but also in self-acceptance and confidence.
