EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and whimsical print captures a historical scene from medieval times, featuring a barber diligently shaving a pig. The nursery rhyme "Barber, barber, shave a pig, how many hairs will make a wig? Four and twenty, that's enough, give the barber a pinch of snuff" comes to life in this image as we witness the intricate process of making wigs centuries ago.
The attention to detail in this photograph is truly remarkable - from the expression on the barber's face to the texture of the pig's hair being shaved. It offers us a glimpse into an era where barbers were not only responsible for grooming humans but also animals.
As we reflect on this unique piece of history captured in 1901 by Rights Managed, we are reminded of the craftsmanship and skill required to create wigs in days gone by. The significance of each hair carefully collected for wig-making purposes speaks volumes about the dedication and artistry of these early wig makers.
Overall, this print serves as both a fascinating historical document and a delightful visual representation of an age-old nursery rhyme brought to life. It is sure to spark curiosity and wonder in viewers of all ages.
