EDITORS COMMENTS
A Servant Holds Madam's Wig Aloft with the Help of a Special Stick," is a captivating image from the annals of 18th century history, as depicted in this stunning print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The photograph transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and opulence, where the intricacies of fashion and social hierarchy were intricately intertwined. The image features a servant, dressed in the traditional liveried attire of the time, holding aloft a magnificent wig belonging to his mistress. The wig, a towering creation of curls and powder, is a testament to the extravagance and elegance of the period. The servant, with the help of a special stick, supports the weight of the wig with ease and deference, demonstrating the subservient role of the servant class in the maintenance of their employers' grandeur. The year is 1770, and the world is abuzz with the latest fashion trends. Wigs, made from human or animal hair, were a symbol of wealth and status, and the more elaborate and expensive the wig, the higher the social standing of the wearer. The wig in this print is a masterpiece of 18th century wig-making, with intricate curls and an elaborate base that adds to its grandeur. The print also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the servant class, who played a crucial role in maintaining the appearance and comfort of their employers. The servant's deft handling of the wig and the use of the special stick demonstrate the skill and expertise required of the servant class in the care and maintenance of their employers' possessions. This print is not only a beautiful representation of 18th century fashion and social hierarchy but also a fascinating insight into the intricacies of daily life during this period. It is a reminder of the rich history and culture that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
