Pigtails and Powder - A Glimpse into Vanity and Pride
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving titled "Pigtails and Powder" artist Frank Dadd takes us back to the Victorian era, offering a fascinating insight into the world of male grooming. The print, part of a private collection, showcases an exquisite illustration originally featured in The Graphic on September 6th, 1884. The scene depicts a gentleman engrossed in his own reflection as he meticulously arranges his pigtails and applies powder to his hair. With pipe in hand, he exudes an air of self-assuredness that borders on prideful pretension. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the seven deadly sins—specifically vanity—and how they can manifest themselves even in seemingly mundane activities. Dadd's attention to detail is remarkable; every strand of hair seems perfectly placed while capturing the essence of both pridefulness and emotion. Through this artwork, we are transported to an era where personal appearance held great significance—a time when one's hairstyle could be seen as a symbol of social status or personal identity. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we cannot help but ponder our own relationship with vanity and pride. It serves as a mirror reflecting not only the past but also our present-day society—an invitation for introspection on how these emotions shape our lives today.
