EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Crafts: hairdresser and wig in their workshop" takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the world of artisans and their meticulous craftsmanship. The image, captured by Leonard de Selva, showcases an unknown artist's depiction of a hairdresser and wig maker engrossed in their work. The scene is set within a bustling workshop filled with tools of the trade - combs, scissors, mirrors - all meticulously arranged on wooden shelves. The old man, his face etched with wisdom and experience, delicately handles a hairpiece while carefully crafting it into an exquisite wig. His hands move with precision as he brings life to strands of hair. Beside him stands his apprentice or perhaps another skilled craftsman observing intently. This young person represents the future generation being trained in this ancient art form. Together they embody the passing down of knowledge from one generation to another. This enchanting engraving was originally featured in "Comprehensive description of arts and crafts and workshops for young people" edited by Johan Peter Vue in Nuremberg during 1790. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on preserving traditional skills through education even centuries ago. As we admire this remarkable piece from our private collection today, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also acknowledge the dedication and skill required by these craftsmen who shaped society's aesthetics through their laborious workmanship.
