EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of exquisite wigs from the 19th century, captured by the French School. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "The XVIIIth Century" by Paul Lacroix, published around 1880. In this snapshot of pre-revolutionary France, we are transported back to an era where wigs were not only fashionable but also symbolized social status. Each wig tells its own unique story, representing different styles that were popular during that time. From the newly growing wig to the elaborate catogan and square wig with two tails, these intricately designed pieces demonstrate the creativity and craftsmanship involved in creating such headpieces. We can also spot other notable styles like the knotted wig, bag wig, la brigadiere, abbes wig, and even a woman's wig. As we admire these wigs through this photograph, it offers us a glimpse into French culture during this period. Wearing such ornate wigs was not limited to men; women too embraced them as part of their fashion statement. This print serves as a reminder of how fashion trends have evolved over time while showcasing the rich history embedded within each piece. It invites us to appreciate both the artistry behind these wigs and their significance in defining societal norms during that era in France's past.
