| 520 | _a"The Wigmaker in Eighteenth-Century Williamsburg" by Bullock and Tonkin is a historical account published in the late 20th century that explores the craft of wigmaking and barbering in Colonial Williamsburg during the 18th century. This book delves into the life of Richard Gamble and his peers, shedding light on their roles as barber-wigmakers, the societal significance of wigs, and the cultural norms surrounding grooming in this era. The narrative follows the life and business of Richard Gamble, who faced numerous legal battles over unpaid debts, a common plight among craftsmen in colonial Virginia. After his partnership with Edward Charlton, who eventually took over the business, the book outlines the various wig styles popular at the time and the intricate process of wigmaking. Through court records and surviving account books, the authors provide insights into the clientele, including prominent figures like Thomas Jefferson and Peyton Randolph, who patronized wigmakers for their grooming needs. Additionally, the text reflects on the societal implications of wig fashion, portraying how wigs served as a status symbol within the intricate social structure of colonial Williamsburg.
