This image, hailing from May 1866, showcases an enchanting selection of Parisian coiffures that graced the heads of fashionable women during the Victorian era. The photograph, a testament to the intricate and artistic nature of 19th-century hairstyling, presents a profile view of ten distinct headdresses. Each design is a work of art in its own right, reflecting the creativity and craftsmanship of the era's skilled coiffeurs. The first headdress, adorning the foreground, boasts a tall, conical shape, adorned with delicate lace and ribbons, while the second features a cascade of curls, piled high and held in place with a large, ornate comb. The third headdress showcases a more modest, yet elegant design, with a simple, low-set bun adorned with a delicate flower. Moving on, the fourth headdress features a voluminous, rounded shape, adorned with a delicate net veil and a feathered headband. The fifth headdress is a more elaborate version of the fourth, with a larger, more ornate net veil and a cascade of curls framing the face. The sixth headdress is a striking, tall design, featuring a tall, conical shape, adorned with a large, intricately-designed comb and a cascade of curls. The seventh headdress is a more demure, yet elegant design, with a low-set bun and a simple, delicate headband. The eighth headdress is a more elaborate version of the seventh, with a larger, more ornate bun and a cascade of curls framing the face. The ninth headdress is a tall, conical design, adorned with a large, ornate comb and a net veil. The final headdress is a simple, yet elegant design, with a low-set bun and a delicate, floral headband. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 1860s Parisian fashion, showcasing the intricate and artistic nature of the coiffures that defined the era. Each design is a masterclass in creativity and craftsmanship, reflecting the ingenuity and skill of the coiffeurs of the time.
