EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1875 takes us back to the extravagant world of 18th century Parisian fashion. Titled "A Satire on Women's Extreme Hairdos in 18th Century Paris" this print offers a humorous and satirical glimpse into the outrageous hairstyles that were popular among aristocratic women during this era. The image showcases an array of elaborate coiffures, each more extravagant than the last. Towering structures adorned with feathers, ribbons, and even miniature ships seem to defy gravity as they sit atop the heads of these fashionable ladies. The exaggerated size and complexity of these hairdos serve as a playful critique on societal norms and expectations. In addition to showcasing these over-the-top hairstyles, the lithograph also highlights the opulent gowns worn by these women. Their dresses are exquisitely detailed, reflecting their high social status and wealth. Through its clever satire, this artwork invites us to reflect on society's obsession with appearance and how it can sometimes lead to absurd extremes. It serves as a reminder that fashion is not always about practicality or functionality but can be used as a form of self-expression or even social commentary. This lithograph is not only visually stunning but also provides valuable insight into the cultural history of France during the 18th century. It captures both the extravagance and wit that characterized French society at that time.
