The Harmful Effects of the Corset - Unveiling the Hidden Damage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Harmful Effects of the Corset" offers a striking visual representation of the detrimental impact that corsets had on women's bodies in the late 19th century. Created by Dr Jules Rengade (b. 1841), also known as Aristide Roger, this illustration from La Vie Normale et la Santé exposes the alarming consequences of tight-lacing. In vivid color lithography, we witness a cut-away view of a female torso tightly constricted by a corset. The compression inflicted upon her chest and abdomen is shockingly revealed, exposing an array of internal organs such as lungs, stomach, heart, and liver being squashed and distorted under immense pressure. This thought-provoking image serves as an important reminder of how fashion trends can have severe health implications. It highlights popular medicine's growing concern over corsetry's unhealthy influence on women's well-being during that era. The detailed diagram meticulously depicts not only external damage but also provides insight into internal injuries caused by these restrictive garments. By shedding light on this issue through anatomical analysis, it aims to raise awareness about the dangers lurking beneath societal beauty standards. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot captured by Bridgeman Images from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France; let us reflect on how far we have come in prioritizing comfort and health over harmful practices dictated by fashion whims.
