This photograph, taken in 1857, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the legal profession in London, specifically at E Albins Wigmaker and Hair Cutters Shop located near the prestigious Middle Temple. The shop, adorned with large glass windows, was a traditional establishment that catered to the members of the legal community, providing them with essential wigs and hair services. The storefront, framed by the glass panes, reveals an array of wigs neatly arranged on shelves and mannequins, showcasing the various styles and textures available. The atmosphere inside the shop was a blend of tradition and craftsmanship, as the skilled wigmakers and hair cutters worked diligently to create the perfect perriwigs for their clients.
