The Culminating Point of Bonnet Fashion - A Satirical Take on Ladies' Hairstyles and Headgear, 1853
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1853 showcases a satirical take on the latest fashion trends for ladies, specifically the bonnet style and elaborate hairstyles of the era. The image features a young woman, her plaited hairstyle forming a striking point on which her enormous bonnet sits. Her hairdo, adorned with intricate braids and curls, culminates in a sharp, upward direction, creating a perfect perch for the towering bonnet. The bonnet itself is an extravagant creation, boasting a wide brim and a decorative bow. The bow, a popular accessory during this period, is embellished with a whimsical pattern of pipes, adding an unexpected and humorous touch to the otherwise elegant ensemble. The satirical nature of the print is evident in the exaggerated proportions of the woman's hairstyle and bonnet, as well as the playful expression on her face. The artist's intention was likely to poke fun at the extreme lengths women went to in order to adhere to the fashionable trends of the time. This print, a fascinating glimpse into the world of 1850s fashion, offers a unique perspective on the importance of accessories and headgear in shaping the style of the era. The print, with its intricate details and clever satire, remains an intriguing and entertaining piece of historical art.
