EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fashionable evening coiffures, with ringlets and various ornaments and hoods. (2 of 2)" and dated 1868, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Victorian-era hairstyles. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the intricate and elaborate hairstyles favored by women during this period, as they prepared for an evening out. The women in the photograph are profiled, their heads adorned with a riot of ringlets framing their faces, cascading down their shoulders and back. The ringlets, a popular hairstyle of the time, were achieved by wrapping the hair in curling tongs or using rag curls. The women's hair is further embellished with a variety of ornaments, from delicate wreaths and guipure hoods to elegant earrings. One woman wears a hood adorned with intricate lace and beadwork, while another sports a simple yet elegant wreath of flowers. The hoods, a common accessory for evening wear, served both as a fashion statement and a practical solution to keep the hair in place. The women's hair is styled in such a way that it frames their faces, drawing attention to their features and enhancing their beauty. This photograph is a testament to the time and effort women put into their appearance during the Victorian era. The intricate hairstyles, ornaments, and hoods were not only a reflection of their personal style but also a symbol of their social status and wealth. The image captures the essence of an era, transporting us back in time and offering a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era fashion.
