EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beauty and cultural significance of a Turkish girl having her hair braided in a bath. The image is part of the "Collection of 100 prints representing different nations of the Levant in 1707 and 1708" commissioned by M. de Frriol, ambassador of the king at the Porte, and later updated by M. Le Hay, Bashan engraver in Paris. The intricate braiding process is being skillfully executed by a hairdresser as the young girl sits comfortably in what appears to be a traditional hammam or Turkish bath. The attention to detail is evident not only in her hairstyle but also in her overall appearance, showcasing the importance placed on personal grooming during this time. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print offers insights into Turkish culture and hygiene practices from the early 18th century. It serves as a testament to how beauty rituals were intertwined with daily life for women living in Turkey at that time. Photographed by Leonard de Selva, this historical piece now resides within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. Its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers today while providing valuable glimpses into an era long gone but still cherished through art.
