1987 Arranged Barber Concertina Disinfection Fascia Grille Hygiene Tiled Toilet Visits
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1987, showcases the charming facade of a traditional Madrid barber shop named "Madrid Barber 1 / 5." The intricately tiled exterior is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Spanish capital. The signage clearly indicates that both men and women are welcome, highlighting the inclusivity of the establishment. The barber shop's design exudes a sense of hygiene and cleanliness, with a concertina grille shielding the interior from the street. This protective barrier not only ensured privacy for clients but also served as an effective means of maintaining a sterile environment, a crucial aspect of barbering. Home visits were also an option for those unable to travel to the shop, adding to the convenience and accessibility of the service. The arrangement of home visits further emphasizes the barber's commitment to catering to the needs of his clients. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the evolution of barbering practices. At the time, the importance of hygiene and disinfection was increasingly recognized, as seen in the use of the grille and the potential for home visits. This image, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, invites us to reflect on the enduring tradition of barbering and the role it plays in our communities. The Madrid Barber 1 / 5, with its warm welcome and dedication to serving its clients, continues to embody the essence of a quintessential barber shop.
