Summary[edit]

The Danish "Punch" (not British Punch), 1879 page 145.

Dansk: Moderne Frisure.
;Danish original: Mo'er! Når jeg bliver stor, må jeg så også blive kæmmet ligesom en hest?
English: Fashionable hairstyle.
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.

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
