Description: Wimples and Crisping Pins Theodore Child hairstyle & ornaments 1895 HB G 240911 from Introduction:Coiffure is an art, and a great art, the chiefest of the decorative arts, inasmuch as its function is to adorn the most perfect of nature's works, the beauty of woman. Therefore, have I ventured to write this little work of reveries and reflections on the dressing of hair and the adornment of beauty, not with a view to superseding the learned theoretical and practical treatises of the masters, nor yet with the purpose of compiling a history of coiffure, but with the more specific object of calling attention to the wealth of example an suggestion contained in the paintings and sculpture of past ages ...
