Marie Antoinette's Head - Bashor Will
Winner of the Adele Mellen Prize for Distinguished Scholarship Marie Antoinette has remained atop the popular cultural landscape for centuries for the daring in style and fashion that she brought to 18th century France. Who was this minister of fashion who wielded such tremendous influence over the queen s affairs? For the better part of the queen s reign, one man was entrusted with the sole responsibility of ensuring that her coiffure was at its most ostentatious best.
By unearthing a variety of sources from the 18th and 19th centuries, including memoirs (including Leonard s own), court documents, and archived periodicals the author, Marie Antoinette s Head: The Royal Hairdresser, The Queen, and the Revolution charts the rise of Leonard Autie from humble origins as a country barber in the south of France to the inventor of the Pouf and premier hairdresser to Queen Marie-Antoinette.
