EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Five Orders of Perriwigs" is a remarkable piece from the renowned works of William Hogarth. Published in 1833, it offers a satirical commentary on the extravagant fashion trends of the 18th century. In this cartoon-like illustration, Hogarth skillfully depicts both male and female figures donning various styles of perriwigs or wigs. These elaborate hairpieces were highly fashionable during that era and served as a symbol of social status and sophistication. Through his sharp wit and artistic talent, Hogarth uses satire to mock society's obsession with these outlandish hairstyles. Each wig style represents a different order or category, ranging from the flamboyant to the absurdly exaggerated. The artist cleverly highlights how individuals would go to great lengths to conform to societal expectations by adorning themselves with these ostentatious accessories. "The Five Orders of Perriwigs" not only serves as an amusing portrayal but also provides valuable insight into the cultural norms and values prevalent during that time period. It reminds us that fashion has always been subject to whimsical trends driven by social pressures. This particular print is part of a private collection and showcases Hogarth's exceptional ability to capture human follies through art. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today, offering a glimpse into an era where even hairstyles became objects for ridicule and parody.
