EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the intimate world of a lady at her toilette. Inspired by an engraving by Le Blond and featured in Eduard Fuchs' renowned publication "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte Vom Mittelalter Bis Zur Gegenwart" from 1909, this image captures the essence of personal grooming and hygiene during that era. The lady depicted is engrossed in her morning routine, delicately titivating herself with utmost care. As she sits at her dressing table adorned with various cosmetics and tools, she engages in preening rituals that were customary for women of her time. From meticulously arranging her hair to applying makeup and attending to ablutions, every detail showcases the importance placed on appearance and self-care. This snapshot offers a fascinating insight into everyday life during the seventeenth century. It reveals not only the customs and habits surrounding personal grooming but also provides a window into societal expectations placed upon women of that era. The attention given to one's appearance was seen as essential for maintaining social status and adhering to cultural norms. Ken Welsh's masterful capture allows us to appreciate both the historical significance of this moment as well as its timeless beauty. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an age where even mundane tasks like getting ready for the day held great significance.
