Video of Charles DeZemler’s collection of barber art and antiques with voiceover on barber history. Video opens with painting of women in pond gathering leeches (which were used for bloodletting by barbers acting as surgeons). Shot of an antique leeches jar. Drawing of women being bled with cupping glasses. A man removes bloodletting tools from a wooden box: glass cups and a scarificator (a tool that contained spring loaded blades that would cut into skin). Man demonstrates how scarificator worked by using it to cut through a piece of paper. Someone with a rolled up sleeve bares their arm as someone else feels their skin for a vein. The use of a fleam (another spring loaded bloodletting tool meant to puncture veins) is demonstrated. A drawing showing a transfusion from a cat to a man (he was bled too much). A man folds up a white cloth into a thin strip and ties it around an arm like a bandage. He then unties a dark cloth bandage (representing a bloody one) from an arm and ties it around a white pole to dry—this explains the origin of the white/red barber shop poles.
