EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Coiffure Chien Couchant" or the "Sleeping Dog Hairstyle," is an exquisite example of the elaborate and whimsical coiffures popular during the era of King Louis XVI. Created by the skilled hand of French lithographer, de Laubadere, this image is part of Octave Uzanne's collection, "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery," published in Paris in 1895 by Rouveyre. The central figure of the print is a woman, her eyes closed in peaceful slumber, her head resting on a plush pillow. Her hair, cascading in ringlets and curls, is styled in the shape of a sleeping dog, its head resting on its paws, its body curled around her head. The hairstyle is adorned with ribbons, pearls, and other decorative elements, adding to its ornate and extravagant appearance. The "Sleeping Dog Hairstyle" was a fashion statement of the time, a testament to the creativity and artistry of the coiffeurs of the day. The intricacy and detail of the hairstyle, as depicted in this lithograph, would have taken hours, if not days, to create. The use of handcolouring further enhances the image, adding depth and vibrancy to the already stunning design. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion and beauty during the late 19th century, a time when the art of coiffure was taken to new heights. It is a reminder of the importance of self-expression and the role that fashion plays in reflecting the cultural and social norms of a particular era.
