Long Wigs of the Seventeenth Century: A Satirical Take on the Fashionable 'Poodle Powdered' Man This intriguing image from the late seventeenth century offers a satirical commentary on the fashion trend of the time - the long, extravagant wigs that were all the rage among the elite. The man in the print, with his towering wig, appears more like a poodle than a man, as the title of this print suggests. The wig, powdered and meticulously styled, had become a symbol of wealth and status, with the length and volume signifying one's social standing. The satirical tone of the print is evident in the man's posture and expression. His exaggerated pose, with one hand holding a fan and the other resting on his hip, is reminiscent of the affected mannerisms of the aristocracy. His gaze, however, is vacant and absent-minded, as if he is oblivious to the world around him. The title of the print, "Long Wigs of the Seventeenth Century: A Satire on the Fashionable 'Poodle Powdered' Man," further emphasizes the ridiculousness of the trend. The toilette, or personal grooming, was a time-consuming and expensive process for the wealthy men of the seventeenth century. The wigs themselves were made of human or animal hair, which was often imported from other countries. The powder used to keep the wigs white and clean was made from talc or rice flour, and was imported from Italy. The process of dressing and powdering the wig could take hours, and required the assistance of several servants. This print offers a humorous and critical commentary on the excesses of the time, poking fun at the vanity and extravagance of the fashionable elite. The long wigs, with their poodle-like appearance, became a symbol of the absurdity of the times, and this print serves as a reminder of the follies of the past.
