EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 20th century and enter the bustling Barber Shop Montmartre, located at 21 Boulevard Montmartre in the heart of Paris. This photograph, taken in 1909, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Maison Lespes, a gentlemen's hairdressers that was a popular destination for Parisians seeking a fresh haircut and engaging conversation. The scene inside the shop is filled with a sense of energy and camaraderie. The barber, dressed in a crisp white shirt and black apron, expertly wields his straight razor as he shaves a customer's face with practiced ease. Another barber attends to a client's hair, skillfully snipping away with scissors and brushing the freshly cut locks with a fine-toothed comb. The shop's atmosphere is lively and convivial, with patrons chatting amicably as they wait their turn. The warm, inviting ambiance is further enhanced by the soft glow of the shop's antique mirrors and the comforting scent of shaving cream and hair tonic. In the background, a toilet area is visible, where customers could freshen up before or after their haircut. The room is adorned with vintage posters and advertisements, adding to the shop's nostalgic charm. Maison Lespes was a beloved institution in Montmartre, and this photograph captures a moment in time that transports us back to a bygone era. The Barber Shop Montmartre was more than just a place to get a haircut; it was a social hub where men could gather, connect, and enjoy a bit of old-fashioned pampering.
