EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the year 1886, a time when beauty standards were drastically different than they are today. In this image, we see a maid using a hypodermic needle to inject color into her mistress's cheeks - a common practice in the Victorian era to achieve a rosy complexion.
The sight of this historical beauty ritual is both fascinating and slightly unsettling. It serves as a stark reminder of the dangerous lengths people would go to in order to conform to societal ideals of beauty. The reckless use of hypodermic needles for cosmetic purposes highlights just how far we have come in terms of safety and regulation within the beauty industry.
The juxtaposition between the opulence of the mistress and the servitude of the maid adds another layer of complexity to this image. It speaks volumes about class distinctions and power dynamics during that time period.
Overall, this print is not only visually striking but also thought-provoking. It prompts us to reflect on our own modern-day beauty practices and consider how they may be influenced by historical norms. Beauty truly knows no bounds, even if it means risking one's health in pursuit of perfection.
