1840 Accessories Curled Elaborately Hairstyles Locks Muff Ringlets Selection
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant world of the 1840s, as depicted in this print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image showcases a stunning selection of hairstyles that were popular during this period, with women adorned with elaborately curled locks and ringlets. The intricate curls were achieved through the use of curling tongs, rat's tail combs, and other hair accessories, and were often held in place with copious amounts of hair powder and pomade. The woman in the foreground, dressed in the height of Bon Ton fashion, adds to the overall allure of the scene. Bon Ton was a term used to describe the fashionable elite of the time, who took great pride in their appearance and followed the latest trends. The woman's large muff, a must-have accessory for ladies during the 1840s, adds a touch of sophistication and warmth to her outfit. Muffs were often made of fur, such as rabbit or fox, and were used to keep hands warm and protect them from the elements. They were also a status symbol, as only the wealthiest women could afford such luxurious accessories. The woman's dress, with its intricate floral pattern and fitted silhouette, further emphasizes her affluence and refinement. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion and beauty during the 1840s, a time when women took great care in their appearance and sought to make a statement through their hairstyles and accessories. The intricate curls and elegant muffs depicted in the image continue to inspire us today, reminding us of the rich history of fashion and the importance of self-expression through personal style.
