EDITORS COMMENTS
This silver print from 1899 showcases a woman wearing a corset, capturing the essence of the late 19th-century fashion and body image ideals. The unknown artist skillfully portrays an American lady with long flowing hair, her hourglass figure accentuated by the tightly laced corset. Her piercing gaze meets ours, inviting us to contemplate the complexities of femininity during this era. The sepia-toned photograph exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, as the woman delicately brushes her hair with a vintage hairbrush. This intimate half-length portrait not only highlights the fashionable undergarments of its time but also offers a glimpse into Victorian society's obsession with achieving an idealized waistline. As we observe this remarkable image, it becomes evident that this silver print captures more than just fashion; it encapsulates societal expectations and standards imposed on women in that era. It serves as a historical artifact reminding us of how notions of beauty have evolved over time. Now part of a private collection, this photograph is free from copyright restrictions, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate its artistic value without limitations. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder brings forth such timeless pieces for our contemplation and admiration while preserving their historical significance for generations to come.
