EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 18th century showcases a German cartoon lampooning women's hairstyles of the time. With its satirical and humorous tone, this artwork provides a glimpse into the fashion trends and social customs of that era. The exaggerated hairstyles depicted in the cartoon are meant to mock and ridicule the excessive hairdressing practices prevalent during this period. The scene is set on a bustling street, where women with outrageously styled hairdos can be seen walking alongside farmers ploughing their fields. The juxtaposition of these two contrasting elements adds to the absurdity and mockery portrayed in the cartoon. Amidst all this chaos, dogs and other animals roam freely, adding an element of whimsy to the composition. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print – from the intricate costumes worn by both men and women to the expressions on their faces. This artwork was later featured in Eduard Fuchs' book "Die Frau in der Karikatur" (Women in Caricature) published in 1907, further solidifying its significance as a representation of historical satire. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found humor in societal norms and were not afraid to express it through art. Overall, this lithograph offers us an amusing insight into 18th-century Germany's culture while highlighting how fashion choices can become objects of ridicule over time.
