This print titled "The Freseau, or Back Comb" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases an exquisite engraving by an English School artist, depicting a moment from the history of ladies' hairdressing. Intriguingly, this artwork was created as an illustration for A Mallemont's "History of Ladies Hairdressing" published in 1904. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of hairstyling during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable; every strand of hair is meticulously crafted, showcasing various styles and ornaments adorning women's hairstyles. The back comb, prominently featured in the engraving, symbolizes elegance and sophistication. As we delve into this historical piece, we are transported to a time when elaborate hairstyles were not only fashionable but also served as expressions of personal style and societal norms. This print invites us to explore the evolution of female grooming practices throughout history. Whether you are fascinated by fashion history or simply captivated by beautiful artistry, this print serves as a window into a bygone era. It reminds us that even something as seemingly mundane as hairdressing can hold immense cultural significance and tell stories about our past.
