Summary "La vie privée d'autrefois; Arts et métiers, modes, moeurs, usages des Parisiens…" by Alfred Franklin is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the social customs, daily life, and hygiene practices of Parisians from the 12th to the 18th century, revealing the societal attitudes toward cleanliness and personal grooming. It provides a comprehensive look at an era where barbers also served as surgeons, emphasizing the evolution of personal care over centuries. The opening of the book introduces the historical context of barbers in Paris, detailing their dual role as surgeons and personal groomers up until the mid-17th century. It discusses a significant shift initiated by King Louis XIII in the 1630s to separate barbering and surgical practices into distinct professions, responding to public concerns about hygiene. The text paints a vivid picture of past attitudes toward cleanliness, revealing how even basic bathing habits were influenced by cultural and religious beliefs, and sets the stage for a deeper exploration of personal care, societal norms, and the evolution of manners in Parisian life throughout the subsequent centuries.
