EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at a traditional Madrid barber shop in 1987. The tiled fascia of the establishment, adorned with a barber pole and a sign reading "3/5," invites passersby to step inside for a shave or a haircut. In the foreground, a skilled barber expertly trims the hair of a young boy, his expression one of concentration and slight apprehension as scissors carefully snip away. The barber's chair, with its worn leather and ornate design, is a testament to the history and tradition of the craft. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a vintage toilet, a common feature in Spanish barber shops, adding to the authenticity and charm of the setting. The barber's tools, neatly arranged on the counter, suggest a dedication to the art of grooming and a commitment to providing a quality service. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the sensory experience of a visit to a Madrid barber shop. The sound of clippers and scissors, the smell of shaving cream and aftershave, and the feel of a freshly shaved face or a newly styled haircut are all part of the ritual that has endured for generations. This image, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a reminder of the simple pleasures and traditions that make up the fabric of daily life in Madrid. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen in history, that continues to resonate with viewers today.
