Summary
[edit]The Danish "Punch" (not British Punch), 1879 page 145.
;Danish original: Mo'er! Når jeg bliver stor, må jeg så også blive kæmmet ligesom en hest?
The woman on the left is wearing her hair "down" and free-flowing, something which in the Victorian period was generally only considered appropriate for little girls, and for adult women in the intimacy of their boudoirs and bedrooms (see explanation at image description page Image:1799-pinup-print-archers-Adam-Buck-unbound-hair.jpg). However, in 1879 Denmark, it marked a phase between little-girlhood and adulthood. Or more correct the status of marriageable but not engaged. The free hair or a hair without hat/bonnet show as she was free to been engaged. That was a old tradition from the prehistoric.
*Text in image (spoken by little girl to her mother):
- English translation
- Mother! When I become grown-up, must I then also become combed like a horse?
In Denmark at that time 'hair "down" and free-flowing' was only used of virtuous young woman, after religious confirmation (in the spring time about the age at 15), before becoming engaged.
