| Caption | An obese bald-headed old man seated in an armchair while a hairdresser pours macassar oil from a bottle on to his scalp. Etching after T Rowlandson, ca 1814. At his feet is a basin to receive the overflow, and on the ground is a fool's cap with ears. Right, a woman looks in astonishment at her a shock of brown hair reflected in a wall-mirror. Created ca 1814. Hair growth stimulants. Contributors: Thomas Rowlandson (1756–1827). Work ID: qkp3r5hw. |
