Monsieur Le Frizeur 1771

This satirical print by Henry William Bunbury, a prominent English caricaturist, depicts a man, likely a French hairdresser, with an extravagant hairstyle. Created in 1771, the print titled "Monsieur Le Frizeur," captures the essence of 18th-century fashion, showcasing the exaggerated and often ridiculous styles of the era. The print exemplifies the use of caricature as a social commentary tool, with Bunbury's sharp wit evident in the figure's over-the-top appearance. The detail in the figure's clothing and the exaggerated pose further contribute to the humor of the work.
