520 _a"Board-Work; or the Art of Wig-making, Etc." by Edwin Creer is a technical manual focused on the craft of wig-making and hairdressing, written in the late 19th century. Designed for apprentices and those in the trade, the book addresses the essential techniques and knowledge required to excel in the disused methods of hair preparation and styling, which were rapidly declining in practical knowledge at the time. The work not only covers the creation of wigs but also delves into the intricacies of hair types, their quality, and the various processes involved in crafting hairpieces. The opening of the book establishes the author’s intent to fill the gap in technical knowledge for burgeoning hairdressers. Creer emphasizes the importance of mastery over minor details in the craft—details that can make the difference in quality and ultimately the reputation of a hairdresser. He discusses the scientific aspect of hair, including its structure and different qualities, while introducing the reader to the tools and methods necessary for cleaning and preparing hair. The tone is instructional, urging students to understand their materials thoroughly so they can elevate their skills and craftsmanship in the evolving landscape of hairdressing.
