EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Busk and Mr. Corset: A Fashionable Couple Defying the Norms at a Dance Party, as Depicted in Pierre de la Mesengerie's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817 This handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesengerie's Le Bon Genre, published in Paris in 1817, captures the unexpected sight of a fashionable couple, Miss Busk and Mr. Corset, defying societal norms by wearing tight corsets to a dance party. The image, filled with satire and wit, challenges the traditional gender roles of the time, as young men were not typically seen wearing such restrictive garments. Miss Busk, elegantly dressed in a corseted gown adorned with intricate floral patterns, gracefully dips her partner, Mr. Corset, who is equally fashionable in his corseted suit, complete with a cravat, gloves, hose, and tails. The couple's attire, while designed to enhance their figures and create an illusion of slimness, also emphasizes their commitment to the latest fashion trends. The engraving, with its vibrant colours and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the opulence and extravagance of the dance parties and social events of the early 19th century. The satirical undertones, however, serve as a reminder of the societal pressures and expectations that often dictated people's choices, even in matters of personal adornment and self-expression.
