This exquisite image, titled "Lingerie 1855 (Lingerie de madame Payan)" from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of women's undergarments during the mid-19th century. The delicate lace and satin garments depicted in the photograph were designed by the renowned French lingerie maker, Madame Payan. The photograph, dated April 1855, showcases a selection of elegant and intricately designed lingerie pieces that were popular during this period. The garments include a corset, a pair of bloomers, a chemise, and a pair of stockings, all adorned with intricate lace and satin trimmings. The corset, in particular, is a marvel of engineering, with its boned structure and tight-lacing designed to shape the waist and accentuate the hourglass figure. The bloomers, which were a relatively new addition to women's undergarments at the time, were designed to provide greater comfort and freedom of movement. The chemise, made of fine cotton or linen, served as a foundation garment, while the stockings were held up by garters attached to the suspender belt. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its ability to provide a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies and artistry of women's undergarments during the mid-19th century. The attention to detail and the use of high-quality materials, such as lace and satin, are a testament to the craftsmanship and elegance of the time. Furthermore, this photograph also highlights the importance of undergarments in shaping women's bodies and enhancing their femininity, as well as the role of fashion in expressing social status and identity. Overall, the "Lingerie 1855 (Lingerie de madame Payan)" photograph is a captivating and intriguing reminder of the rich history of women's lingerie and the artistry of Madame Payan.
