EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming engraving titled "His First Visit to the Barber's, 'Hard or Medium, Sir?'" by Robert Barnes, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in a young boy's life. The image captures the innocence and apprehension of a child as he experiences his inaugural trip to the barber shop. The scene is set within a traditional barbershop, filled with all the trappings of male grooming. The barber stands before him, razor in hand, ready to tend to his hair. With an air of professionalism and expertise, he asks the pivotal question: "Hard or medium?". The boy looks on nervously, unsure of how to respond. His wide eyes reflect both curiosity and trepidation as he contemplates this unfamiliar decision that will shape his appearance. It is evident that this visit holds great significance for him - it marks not only a physical transformation but also represents an important milestone on his journey towards adulthood. This enchanting illustration was originally created for The Graphic newspaper in April 1890 and has since become an iconic representation of childhood experiences at barbershops. Through its timeless appeal and attention to detail, it reminds us of our own first encounters with grooming rituals and serves as a nostalgic reminder of days gone by. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we can't help but be captivated by its ability to evoke emotions and transport us into another era – one where even simple moments like visiting the barber held profound meaning
