La Francoise a Londres - The French Lady in London or The Head-dress of the Year 1771
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing print that offers a satirical glimpse into the exaggerated hairstyles of the 18th century. Created by an unknown artist, but included in "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" this illustration captures the essence of fashion and folly during that time. In this comical scene, we find ourselves inside a French lady's residence in London. Standing at the doorway, she appears both afraid and enormous as her hairdo reaches astonishing heights. With wide eyes and a silly expression, she seems to be startled by something outside - perhaps another outrageous hairstyle passing by on the streets of London. The interior setting showcases elegant furniture with a feline twist; cats are playfully incorporated into various elements. This whimsical touch adds to the overall satire of societal norms surrounding women's fashion choices. The print not only highlights how trends can become absurdly exaggerated but also serves as social commentary on people's fear of being left behind or judged for their appearance. It reminds us that throughout history, individuals have been willing to go to great lengths (and heights) to conform or stand out from society's expectations. With its monochrome palette and intricate details, this print invites viewers to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found humor in their own cultural quirks while simultaneously reflecting upon them critically.
