EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph captures a whimsical scene from the 19th century, showcasing a man being shaved at the barbers. The artwork, created by an anonymous American School artist, is filled with humorous details that add to its charm. In this bustling barber shop, we see the protagonist sitting on a chair with his eyes wide open in anticipation of the shave. However, what makes this image truly unique is the presence of a mischievous bird perched on top of his head. The bird seems to be curiously observing the proceedings while adding an element of oddity to the scene. The barber himself holds a razor near the man's throat, highlighting both skill and danger involved in such close shaving practices during that era. Meanwhile, our main character valiantly holds his nose as if bracing for impact or perhaps trying to stifle laughter. The use of vivid colors adds vibrancy and energy to this delightful print. From the red bib tied around our protagonist's neck to various shades adorning objects in the background like advertising posters and cotton bales - every detail contributes to creating a lively atmosphere. Overall, this lithograph not only showcases an amusing moment but also offers us insight into grooming practices and social interactions during 19th-century barbershop visits. It serves as a testament to how art can capture everyday life moments while infusing them with humor and creativity.
