EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1780 with this fascinating print titled "Extravagant Hairstyle." This satirical cartoon captures the wretched consequences of trying to be fashionable during this period, particularly when it came to hairstyles.
In the 18th century, elaborate and extravagant hairdos were all the rage among the upper classes. Wigs were a common accessory, often towering high above a person's head and adorned with ribbons, feathers, and other decorative elements. However, as this print suggests, these styles could have some rather comical outcomes.
The exaggerated nature of the hairstyle in this image serves as a humorous commentary on the absurd lengths that people would go to in order to fit in with fashion trends of the time. The toilet scene depicted adds an extra layer of satire, highlighting how much time and effort went into maintaining these elaborate coiffures.
Through its clever depiction of historical fashion trends and societal norms, "Extravagant Hairstyle" offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era where appearance was everything. It serves as a reminder that while trends may come and go, our desire for acceptance and validation through our outward appearance remains timeless.
