EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image captures the essence of the Edwardian era, as a young lady prepares to don her long line corset, assisted by the mischievous hand of Cupid. The year is circa 1912, and the scene unfolds in an intimate, romantic setting. The young woman, with a youthful glow and a hint of a smile, stands before a mirror, her Empire chemise visible beneath the open robe. The delicate lace of her chemise adds an air of femininity and delicacy to the scene. Cupid, in the form of a cherub or putto, reaches out with a playful expression, ready to lace up the intricate laces of her long line corset. The corset, a symbol of the time's rigid beauty standards, is a long, narrow garment designed to cinch the waist and create an hourglass figure. The young lady's expression suggests a sense of resignation, perhaps even a touch of amusement, as she allows Cupid to help her into the restrictive garment. The use of Putti, or mythological winged infants, was a common motif in Edwardian art and decor, representing love, beauty, and the passage of time. The inclusion of Cupid in this scene adds a whimsical and romantic touch, emphasizing the importance of love and beauty in the lives of women during this era. This photograph, with its historical significance and intriguing narrative, offers a glimpse into the past and the fashion trends of the early 20th century. It is a beautiful reminder of the elegance and grace of the Edwardian era and the enduring allure of the corset as a symbol of femininity and beauty.
