EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back to the 17th century in Moscow, Russia. The image depicts a scene that is both intriguing and peculiar - a Moscow barber administering a haircut pod gorshok, or "under the pot". As we delve into Russian history through art, this drawing offers us a glimpse into the unique practices of hairdressing during that era. The barber can be seen diligently working on his client's hair while sitting beneath an oversized pot suspended from above. This unconventional method showcases the resourcefulness and creativity of barbers at the time. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of traditional grooming techniques but also in its representation of everyday life in 17th century Moscow. It serves as a reminder that even mundane activities like getting a haircut have evolved over time. Through this image, we are reminded of how art has the power to transport us across centuries and continents, allowing us to witness cultural practices long gone by. It sparks our curiosity about other aspects of Russian history and encourages further exploration into their rich heritage. This print is more than just an aesthetic piece; it is an invitation to immerse ourselves in history and appreciate the ingenuity found within seemingly ordinary moments.
