Regretting Her Bad Hair Deal With The Devil
Once you’ve made a deal with the devil that results in letting him take your hair, every day is a bad hair day for the rest of eternity. That’s the reality that’s just now dawning on this beauty:
Actually I don’t have the foggiest idea what the backstory actually is for this illustration (see much larger version); I don’t read enough (any) German to puzzle out the page in Jugend #28 (1896) where I found it.

As far as I can see, the illustration has noting to do with the article. The illustration is by a well known (at the time) artist by the name of Lovis Corinth. Jugend was the Austrian magazin dedicated to the new artform that sprung up late 19th century and gave its name to that style in Germany and Austria. This style is better known as Art Noveau.
The article is [translated] titled:” Some directions for letter writers and letter receivers.” The article talks about how to manage writing letters or what to do when you receive a letter. Or what to do when you expect a letter but did not receive it. How to write letters to a woman or a man.
Reading the text now in this day and age, I wonder if the author was being helpful or sarcastic. The tone of the letter can be read both ways.
Interesting is the title of the graphic at the bottom with the three horses in a race. It says, translated:”Keep your Courage”.
BTW the typeface of the article is Fraktur. The german writing style of the time.
Hope this helps. It’s been a while since I was last on your blog. Glad to see that it is still running, with the quality I expected.
