EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the early 20th century. Published by the American Stereoscopic Company in 1903, this stereoscopic card depicts a woman being laced into a corset. The image is humorously titled "Taking in a Difficult Reef" drawing on nautical metaphors to describe the challenging process of tightening a corset. Stereoscopic cards were immensely popular during this era, offering viewers a three-dimensional experience through the use of two mounted photographs and a stereoscope. The American Stereoscopic Company was known for producing these captivating cards from around 1895 until approximately 1907. In this particular scene, we see the young woman smiling as she struggles with tying knots and adjusting her undergarments. The hourglass figure created by tightly laced corsets was highly desired at that time, reflecting societal beauty standards. The photograph provides valuable insight into women's fashion and lingerie trends of the Belle Époque period in France. It showcases not only the intricate details of corsets but also highlights elements such as petticoats and other undergarments worn beneath dresses. Overall, this image serves as both an intriguing historical artifact and an amusing depiction of everyday life in early twentieth-century Europe.
