Back To Front (1955): A glimpse into the quirky world of Joseph Tomassi's barbershop in London, captured in this photo print. The image showcases a unique arrangement inside the shop - a clock and a price-list that are deliberately reversed. This clever setup allows clients facing the mirror to keep track of both time and cost during their treatments. The square-shaped clock stands out against the backdrop, its hands frozen at an unknown hour, inviting curiosity about how long each customer has been seated in the barber's chair. The accompanying price-list, also reversed, ensures transparency as patrons can easily glance at it while admiring their reflection. This snapshot from 1955 offers a fascinating insight into European beauty and cosmetic practices of yesteryears. It captures not only the peculiarities of Tomassi's establishment but also reflects an era when attention to detail was paramount in providing quality service. The absence of people adds an air of mystery to the scene, allowing viewers to imagine themselves as potential customers or even envisioning conversations that might have taken place within these walls. With its archival charm and timeless appeal, this photograph transports us back to a bygone era where personal grooming held great importance amidst bustling London streets.
