Summary

Print showing Adam and Eve, (probably representing the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert), naked except for elaborate wigs, standing by the "Tree of life", surrounded by the trappings of fashionable customs and vices, causing the devil to flee.

The number six in the publication date has a break in the upper ascender, making it look like a zero.

Exhibited: Hair, The Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York, 2003-04.
