EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a shop belonging to a barber and wig-maker in 19th century France. The engraving, created by the French School, transports us back in time to an era known for its distinctive style and pre-revolutionary charm. The image captures the essence of French culture during the ancien régime, with its focus on fashion and elegance. The meticulously arranged wigs on display highlight the importance placed on hair as a symbol of status and beauty during this period. The bustling atmosphere within the shop suggests that it was not only a place for grooming but also served as a social hub where people gathered to discuss current trends and exchange gossip. The skilled barber can be seen attending to his clients' needs with precision, while nearby shelves are filled with various hair products and tools of the trade. This enchanting scene is reminiscent of illustrations found in Paul Lacroix's book "The XVIIIth Century" published by Bickers and Son around 1880. It offers us a glimpse into everyday life in France before significant political upheaval reshaped society. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how art has the power to transport us through time, allowing us to appreciate different cultures and eras that have shaped our world today.
