EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1911 photograph captures an elegant 18th century lady in the midst of her beauty routine. Dressed in a flowing white skirt and crinoline, she is only half clad, revealing her scantily clad upper body. With a sense of refined grace, she applies Poudre de Rice, or rice powder, to her face with a delicate brush. The rice powder, a popular cosmetic of the time, was believed to help absorb excess oil and give the skin a smooth, matte finish. The lady's wig, adorned with intricate curls and ornate accessories, sits atop her head, adding to her regal appearance. Her expression is one of quiet concentration, as she meticulously applies the powder to her face, ensuring every inch is covered. The use of rice powder was a common practice among women of the aristocracy during the 18th century, as they sought to enhance their natural beauty and maintain a flawless complexion. Despite being taken in 1911, this photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the beauty rituals of an era long past. The lady's air of sophistication and elegance is timeless, making this image a true treasure for historians, art enthusiasts, and anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and fashion of the 18th century.
