Ridiculous Taste or the Ladies Absurdity - A Satirical Take on 1770s Hairstyles
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 18th century, specifically the 1770s in England. The image is an English cartoon engraving, possibly by or after Matthew Darly, and it brilliantly satirizes the outlandish trends in women's hairstyles of that era. In this comical scene, a woman seated at great height atop a ladder uses a sextant to navigate her way through an extravagant hairstyle. Her hair is styled into incredible heights and curls, defying gravity and reason. This exaggerated portrayal highlights the absurd lengths some women went to achieve fashionable hairdos during this period. The artist cleverly mocks these extreme styles as "Ridiculous Taste or the Ladies Absurdity" questioning whether such flamboyance was truly necessary or simply an act of vanity. It offers us a glimpse into society's obsession with appearance and how fashion choices could become objects of ridicule. This cartoon engraving not only serves as a historical document but also showcases the wit and satire prevalent in art during that time. It reminds us that fashion has always been subject to scrutiny and parody throughout history. Displayed within Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, this intriguing piece invites us to reflect on our own perceptions of beauty standards while appreciating both its artistic value and historical significance.
