Step back in time to the Edwardian era with this advertisement for William Cuverville's exquisite range of women's wavy hairpieces and decorative bands, featuring beautiful feathers. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of wig-making in 1912. The image showcases a group of women meticulously crafting wiglets, each focusing intently on their task. Their deft hands manipulate the wavy locks, expertly shaping and securing them into place. The women's attire reflects the fashionable trends of the time, with high collars, long sleeves, and full skirts. Surveying the scene are male supervisors, ensuring the highest standards are met. Their stern expressions and attire, with collared shirts and ties, underscore the seriousness and importance of their roles in overseeing the production process. The intricate coiffures and the use of feathers in the wigs and decorative bands were popular accessories during the Edwardian period, symbolizing vanity and beauty. The artistry and craftsmanship required to create these wigs were highly valued, making them a desirable addition to any woman's wardrobe. This photograph offers a unique insight into the working conditions and the intricacies of the wig-making industry during the early 20th century.
