EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Massacar Oil, an oily puff for soft heads" takes us back to the year 1814. Created by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson, this print offers a glimpse into the world of grooming during the Edwardian and Victorian eras. The scene showcases a bustling hairdresser's shop where men seek professional care for their locks. The barber is depicted skillfully applying Massacar Oil onto a client's head with precision and expertise. Rows of exquisite bottles line the shelves in the background, each containing exotic and fragrant oils that promise luxurious results. Rowlandson masterfully captures not only the artistry involved in hairstyling but also provides insight into a significant trade profession of that time. The image invites us to imagine ourselves stepping into this historical setting, surrounded by scents and sounds unique to this era. While we admire this artwork today as an intriguing piece from history, it serves as a reminder of how grooming practices have evolved over time. This particular etching transports us back to an age when meticulous attention was paid to personal appearance, showcasing both societal norms and individual desires for refinement. As we appreciate Rowlandson's talent through this print, let us acknowledge its significance in preserving our understanding of past customs while celebrating his artistic prowess that continues to captivate audiences even centuries later.
