EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "High heels and deformed feet" takes us back to 19th century England. The print showcases the intriguing intersection of fashion, health, and culture during that era. In this thought-provoking image from a private collection, we witness the impact of high heels on women's feet. The English School artist skillfully depicts the consequences of this popular footwear choice in an illustration originally published in The Family Doctor and Peoples Medical Adviser on May 15th, 1886. The engraving transports us to a time when high heels were not only fashionable but also caused deformities in women's feet. It serves as a reminder of how societal beauty standards can sometimes come at great physical cost. Beyond its historical significance within England, this artwork sheds light on similar practices observed in China over four decades ago. With references to Asia and Chinese culture, it invites contemplation about the universal nature of these trends across different societies. As we gaze upon this striking image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, let us reflect on our own perceptions of beauty and consider the potential consequences they may have on our well-being.
