EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a barbershop scene straight out of the 18th century. From the renowned Encyclopedie des Sciences et Metiers by Denis Diderot, this engraving offers a glimpse into the world of male grooming during that era. The image is filled with an array of barber tools and accessories, each serving its unique purpose in perfecting men's appearances. The composition features an assortment of razor blades, meticulously crafted to ensure a precise shave. Alongside them are bottles containing various lotions and aftershaves, essential for soothing the skin after a close shave. A bottle labeled "powdering" hints at the popular practice of applying powder to wigs or hairpieces to maintain their appearance. The barbers themselves can be seen attentively working on their clients' hair and facial hair. Their expertise is evident as they skillfully handle razors and other instruments with precision and care. Wigs hang from hooks in the background, waiting to be styled or powdered according to individual preferences. This image not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a reminder of how barbershops have long been spaces where men gather for grooming rituals and social interactions. It provides us with insight into historical practices while highlighting the craftsmanship involved in creating these tools essential for personal care. Displayed within this print is an exquisite piece from French history that continues to fascinate viewers today.
