The Price Of Beauty - A Glimpse into the Eccentricities of 19th Century Fashion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, captured circa 1840, offers a fascinating insight into the peculiar beauty rituals prevalent in early 19th century France. In this French cartoon, we witness an unusual scene where a man on stilts assumes the role of a hairdresser, meticulously pulling a woman's hair into an elaborate style that was highly sought after during that era. The image is accompanied by the caption "One must suffer to be beautiful" shedding light on the sacrifices individuals were willing to endure for societal standards of attractiveness. The composition showcases various elements such as a table adorned with cosmetics and hairdressing tools, reflecting the meticulous process involved in achieving these extravagant hairstyles. Amidst this comical portrayal lies a deeper commentary on gender roles and occupations at the time. The juxtaposition of traditionally feminine activities like hairstyling being performed by a man challenges conventional norms and highlights how society often dictated who could engage in certain professions. As we delve into this thought-provoking snapshot from history, it becomes evident that notions of beauty have always been subject to sacrifice and societal expectations. This intriguing piece invites us to reflect upon our own perceptions of beauty while appreciating the artistic representation crafted by Hulton Archive.
