[FASHION] Portfolio of coiffes and wigs
Curious late 18th century album with a total of 21 engravings of women's wigs and headdresses set in a small diary bound in period full leather (rubbed) with space for a pencil.
Agenda with all the months of the year noted in red and black. Engravings include Coiffure en colisée en 1777, toque à l'espagnolette, coiffure en échelle de 5 boucles avec le bonnet à la glaneuse, le parterre galant, chapeau d'un nouveau goût etc.
They are partially colored.
These engravings are taken from Recueil de coeffures depuis 1589, jusqu'en 1778, with verses analogues to each costume. Paris, Desnos, [1778].
One can easily imagine that this small volume was used by a wigmaker of the period to present models to his clients. A little curiosity!
