1780 Bald False Fashions Joke Latest Monkey Practical Satire Steals Toilet Wigs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This hilarious and whimsical print titled "Toilet / Hair / False Hair" from 1780 is a perfect example of historical satire at its finest. The scene depicts a mischievous monkey stealing a lady's wig, poking fun at the latest hair fashions of the time. In an era where wigs were all the rage, this playful image serves as a reminder not to take oneself too seriously. The clever use of humor in this artwork highlights the practicality (or lack thereof) of wearing false hair and showcases the absurdity of following trends blindly. The bald woman left behind in shock adds to the comedic effect, making viewers chuckle at the monkey's bold antics. Through this satirical lens, we are transported back to a time when wigs were considered essential fashion accessories, and any deviation from societal norms was met with amusement rather than disdain. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a timeless joke that transcends centuries. So next time you find yourself fretting over your hairstyle or feeling pressured to conform to current beauty standards, take inspiration from this cheeky monkey and remember that sometimes it's okay to let loose and embrace your natural self – wig or no wig!
