EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinct hairstyles of women in the 18th century, highlighting the differences between those who were married and unmarried. The image is a reproduction of a late 18th-century French engraving, capturing the essence of fashion and style during that era. On the left side, we see an unmarried woman's coiffure, characterized by its simplicity and elegance. Her hair is beautifully arranged with delicate curls cascading down her back. The head dress she wears adds a touch of sophistication to her overall appearance. In contrast, on the right side, we witness a married woman's coiffure which exudes opulence and grandeur. Her hair is intricately styled into an elaborate updo adorned with ornate accessories such as feathers or ribbons. This extravagant hairstyle symbolizes her elevated status as a married woman. The photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the societal norms surrounding marriage and femininity during this period. It reflects how women expressed their marital status through their choice of hairstyle, emphasizing their role within society. This remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved in creating these stunning hairstyles but also provides insight into historical customs related to marriage and personal identity for women in 18th-century France.
