EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, featuring Mr. Block, a traditional British barber, in his quintessential shop setting. Dating back to the late 19th century, this image is a testament to the rich history of barbering in the United Kingdom. Mr. Block, with his well-groomed mustache and serious expression, is intently focused on his client, who is seated in the foreground, his back to the camera. The barber's chair, adorned with a red and white striped apron, is positioned in front of a large, ornate mirror, reflecting the dimly lit room filled with an array of barbering tools and equipment. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a vintage toilet, located in the corner of the shop, which was a common feature in traditional barber shops during this time. The toilet, with its porcelain basin and ornate faucet, adds a sense of practicality and convenience for clients, further emphasizing the all-encompassing nature of the barber's role. This photograph was devised by Mr. Jacques, a renowned British photographer, in 1861. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the daily life and work of a traditional barber during the Victorian era. The historical significance of this photograph is further underscored by the fact that Mr. Jacques is credited with devising the popular card game "Happy Families," which was first published in 1862, just one year after this photograph was taken. In summary, this photograph of Mr. Block, the barber, is a captivating reminder of the rich history and traditions of barbering in Britain during the Victorian era. The image, with its intricate details and authentic setting, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and dedication of the barbers of yesteryear.
