EDITORS COMMENTS
The Barbers Boutique, (1885) captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of 17th-century French barbershops when wigs were just beginning to rise in popularity. This illustration, taken from Paul Lacroix's book '18th Century Institutions, Usages And Costumes', transports us back in time to an era of intricate grooming rituals and fashionable hairdressing. In this print by Charles Nicolas Cochin, we are immersed in the bustling interior of a traditional barbershop. The scene is filled with men engaging in various activities related to their occupation - shaving, styling wigs, and tending to customers' hair. The attention to detail is remarkable as every aspect of the shop comes alive; from the wig seller showcasing his finest periwigs to the meticulous grooming tools neatly arranged on shelves. The image not only provides insight into the fashion trends and practices of that period but also offers a glimpse into daily life during this transformative century. It serves as a reminder that barbering was not merely a profession but an integral part of society where men gathered for socializing and personal care. As we explore this snapshot from history captured by Charles Nicolas Cochin and brought together by Paul Lacroix's expertise, we gain appreciation for how hairstyles have evolved over time while recognizing the enduring importance placed on personal appearance throughout centuries.
