Cutting Hair Dickensian Hairdresser Hairdressers Salon Victorian Novel
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph transports us back to the enchanting world of Charles Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby. The illustration, titled "Great excitement of Miss Kenwigs at the hairdressers shop" captures a moment filled with anticipation and wonder. In the bustling interior of a Victorian hairdresser's salon, we witness Miss Kenwigs, a young girl accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Kenwigs. As they enter the establishment, their faces are aglow with excitement and curiosity. The child's eyes widen in awe as she takes in the sights and sounds surrounding her. The skilled hands of Morleena, the hairdresser, can be seen delicately cutting a customer's locks nearby. With precision and grace, Morleena transforms each strand into an exquisite masterpiece. This image beautifully encapsulates not only the artistry involved in hairstyling but also highlights its significance within society during this era. Dickensian charm emanates from every corner of this scene - from the ornate decor to the period clothing worn by both customers and staff alike. It serves as a visual reminder of Dickens' ability to transport readers into vividly imagined worlds that were simultaneously familiar yet fantastical. This print is an invitation to step into another time; it allows us to experience firsthand both the mundane moments and extraordinary adventures that lie within Dickens' beloved novels.
