HAID, Johann Jacob (1704-1767), & Johann Elias (1730-1809), publishers
[A series of sixteen plates of ladies' hair-styles and millinery]
Augsburg: J.J.Haid et fils, [circa 1770]. Mezzotints. (Numbering or lettering erased from lower right corner of all plates but one, 8 with similar erasures from the lower left corner as well). Image size (including text): 11 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches approx. Sheet size: 17 1/8 x 10 3/8 inches approx.
A beautiful and extremely rare series of fashionable ladies' hats and hair-styles.
Of the standard bibiographies only Lipperheide mentions this series, but records it as being complete in only 10 plates.
The plates are titled as follows:
1. Bonnet au fichu
2. Baigneuse á la frivolité
3. La Caleche ordinaire
4. Chapeau Tigré
5. Bonnet aux Aigrettes
6. Bonnet á la Voltaire
7. Bonnet rond avec un mouchoir noué en marmote et un ruban noué en cocarde
8. Cornette retroussée à la laitiere
9. Bonnet rond avec un Serre-tete noué negligemment
10.Bonnet à la Dormeuse
11.Bonnet au Pouf
12.Bonnet à la fusse
13.Bonnet au Fichu (different image to plate 1, with letter 'l' in lower right corner of plate)
14.Bonnet à l'Herisson
15.Hérisson couvert d'une Caleche retroussée
16.Toque lisse avec trois boucles
Each plate shows a young women, from just below the bust upwards, fashionably dressed with elaborately coiffured hair and wearing a variety of hats, bonnets and other adornments. The titles of the plates all refer to milinery that is being displayed.
Cf. Lipperheide Na 32 (10 plates).
