EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts an Egyptian barbershop scene from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840. The image captures the intimate moment of a barber meticulously trimming a man's beard while he sits barefoot on a raised platform. The barber, dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, holds a pair of scissors and a straight razor, ready to shape the man's facial hair. The man, also dressed in Egyptian clothing, appears focused and relaxed, his eyes closed in contentment. The Egyptian barbershop was an essential part of daily life, serving not only as a place for grooming but also as a social hub where men could gather and engage in conversation. This ethnographic representation of the Egyptian barbershop offers a glimpse into the customs and traditions of Egyptian society during the 19th century. The intricate details of the barbershop setting, from the ornate decorations on the walls to the various grooming tools displayed, further underscore the importance of personal appearance and hygiene in Egyptian culture. Anthropologists and historians have long been fascinated by the depiction of people and their customs in historical records, and this lithograph serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the lives of Egyptians during this period. The handcoloring adds a vibrant and detailed touch to the image, making it a captivating and visually rich representation of Egyptian history and culture.
