EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a woman with a bold and unconventional hairstyle known as the Dutch Boy haircut. Taken in the 1870s by Hugo Engler, a German photographer active during that time, this albumen silver print captures both the essence of fashion and societal norms of that era. The subject's hair is cut short and styled in a manner reminiscent of young boys at the time, hence its name. This daring choice challenges traditional gender roles and highlights her individuality and confidence. The woman gazes directly into the camera with an air of self-assurance, defying expectations placed upon women during this period. Engler's skillful use of albumen silver printing techniques adds depth to this remarkable image. The soft tones and delicate details enhance our appreciation for both his artistry as well as the subject's audacious style. As we admire this photograph, it serves as a reminder that fashion has always been an avenue for personal expression and rebellion against societal norms. It encourages us to embrace our own unique styles fearlessly while celebrating those who have paved the way before us.
