Barrister Firm L Aw Longer Messrs Prepare Problem Proved Ravenscroft Wigs January Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating historical print captures a unique moment in the making of barristers wigs by the renowned firm Messrs. Ede & Ravenscroft. In this particular image, we see the wigmakers preparing a wig to fit a woman barrister, whose longer hair has posed a challenge when it comes to wearing wigs in court.
The attention to detail and precision required in creating these traditional court wigs is evident as the skilled craftsmen work diligently to ensure that the wig fits perfectly on the female barrister's head. The blending of history, fashion, and legal tradition is beautifully encapsulated in this snapshot from January 1930.
As women began breaking into traditionally male-dominated professions such as law, they faced unique obstacles like finding appropriate attire for court appearances. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles and triumphs of women fighting for their rights and recognition in society.
Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating these iconic symbols of authority and professionalism. It is a testament to both the artistry of wigmaking and the perseverance of women striving for equality in all aspects of life.
