Abstract:
A satire on 18th-century English hairdressing and women’s fashion: a view of a London shop, presumably "The Rose" (note the large rose above the doorway), a hairdressing and wig-making shop owned by William Vickery (active circa 1783-1832). The shop is shown with double bay windows on the ground floor in which are displayed enormous wigs decorated with feathers. Men and women lean out of the windows on the upper level to watch a pair of bears escaping from the front door. The bears -- one saying to the other "Run brother Run, if were caught were Kill’d as sure as a Gun" -- are pursued by the proprietor of the shop and another woman. The shopfront is covered with advertisements for the real services and products offered by Vickery including Bears Grease, Soft Pomatums, Sticking Plaister, Curling Irons as well as "La Tete Transparante" and "Figaro Braids". A woman fleeing from the bears has lost her elaborate wig and is shown bald
