EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print titled "The Harmful Effects of the Corset" offers a striking visual representation of the detrimental impact that corsets had on women's bodies. Created by Dr Jules Rengade and published in 1881, this coloured engraving is a powerful illustration from his book La Vie Normale et la Sante. The image vividly depicts the displacement and compression caused by corsets on the internal organs of a woman's chest and abdomen. The intricate detailing showcases how these restrictive garments forcefully reshaped and constricted vital body parts such as the lungs, liver, intestines, and other viscera. Through its historical significance, this French school artwork sheds light on an era when societal beauty standards subjected women to physical discomfort and health risks. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices endured by countless women who sought to conform to unrealistic ideals. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, it is important to recognize not only its artistic value but also its educational purpose. This print invites us to reflect upon the harmful consequences imposed upon individuals in pursuit of fashion trends throughout history.
