Coiffures, Poufs, Hats and Bonnets: Two Coiffures.Ladies hairstyles were ingenious works of art, built around a core of cushions and horsehair. Hair was piled high in curls and twists (chignons) and adorned with feathers, ribbons, artificial flowers, tulle and jewels to create various fancifully named poufs. Because the hair was dressed using animal fat and powdered with wheat flour, these poufs attracted all manner of insects. Far from hygienic, they moreover did not last long. When they went out, ladies protected their hairdos with a voluminous ribbed hood called a calèche 1. Hairdressers of the time, who styled themselves as artists, used prints to advertise their latest creations and craftsmanship 2 3.

Top and Tail 1777 Anonymous, British, 18th century British To modern eyes this design looks surreal but it is actually a fashionable, erotic variant of a seventeenth-century print type. Known as Nobody prints, these featured figures composed only of legs and heads, with nothing in between, and the resulting verbal-visual pun was aimed critically at specified target. Here, the elegant female "no-body" is composed of a huge, elaborately dressed, wig sitting atop a bare derriere, with her lower extremities clad in white silk stockings, red garters, and high heeled pumps. Like other fashion satires that mocked the latest trends, this example took aim at the enormous hairdos and wigs that women favored in Britain and France before the French Revolution. The title and partial nudity frankly acknowledges the sexual appeal of the fashion while simultaneously suggesting that those who followed it were literally brainless.. Top and Tail 391903
