Head Quarters, 1777 - A Hilarious Glimpse into Revolutionary Style
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this uproarious engraving from the 18th century, we are transported back to a time when hairdos were as important as battle strategies. This satirical masterpiece showcases an English soldier with an absolutely enormous muff-like head dress that would put any modern-day fashionista to shame. As our brave soldier beats his drum in rhythm, it's hard not to notice the lady standing beside him. With her profile perfectly framed by her own extravagant hairstyle, she adds a touch of glamour to this comical scene. Perhaps she is there for moral support or simply providing entertainment during those long hours at headquarters. But wait! Look closely and you'll spot some unexpected elements amidst the battlements and flags. Yes, that's right - gallows! It seems even in times of war, guarding and protection took on a whole new meaning. And let's not forget about the flying rope and noose; clearly someone had a sense of humor while designing this print! This artwork reminds us that even in serious times like war, laughter can still be found. So next time you're feeling down or overwhelmed by life's challenges, take inspiration from these soldiers who managed to find joy amidst chaos – all while sporting truly unforgettable hairstyles!
