EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intimate beauty in the life of a West African woman. Taken by a European photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the artistry and care involved in hairdressing during that era. The photograph depicts a West African woman sitting gracefully as her hair is being meticulously styled. The scene exudes elegance and tranquility, with delicate curls framing her face. A mirror reflects her reflection, adding depth to the composition. This powerful image not only highlights the beauty of this individual but also symbolizes women's liberation and progress throughout history. It serves as a reminder of how women have always played significant roles in society, even during times when their contributions were often overlooked or undervalued. Published as an illustration for "Women of all Lands, Their Charm, Culture and Characteristics" edited by Rosita Forbes in 1935, this photograph has become an iconic representation of twentieth-century social change and modernity. Through its portrayal of pampering and hairstyling rituals specific to West African culture, this photo celebrates diversity while emphasizing universal concepts such as self-care and personal expression through appearance. Preserved within private collections until now, this historic print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill behind capturing such moments on film and the timeless allure found within every strand of hair.
