False Gregory Griggs Hair Piece Mirror Toilet Twenty Vanity Wigs Wore
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and whimsical print captures the essence of 18th-century London fashion with the eccentric Gregory Griggs and his collection of twenty-seven different wigs. Known for his flamboyant style, Gregory Griggs would wear his wigs both up and down to please the people of London town. The intricate detail in each wig is a testament to the vanity and extravagance of the era, where false hair pieces were a symbol of status and wealth.
In this image, we see Gregory Griggs admiring himself in the mirror, carefully adjusting one of his many wigs. His hand gestures suggest a sense of pride and satisfaction as he prepares to showcase his latest creation to society. The historical significance of this piece lies in its representation of 18th-century costume culture, where elaborate hairstyles were not only a form of self-expression but also a means to attract attention and admiration.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this moment in time, allowing us to glimpse into the world of Gregory Griggs and his obsession with wigs. This print serves as a reminder that fashion trends may come and go, but true style is timeless.
