EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of French whalebone corsetry from the early 20th century. Taken from plate 24 of the first volume of the Dictionnaire du Costume, this color lithograph offers a glimpse into the world of fashion and undergarments in France during that time. The corset, meticulously constructed with its waisted structure and lacing design, exemplifies both elegance and functionality. Its intricate details are annotated on the lithograph, providing valuable insights into its construction for future generations to appreciate. In this image, we see a woman admiring herself in a mirror while dressed in this fashionable garment. Her feminine grace is enhanced by the corset's ability to accentuate her curves and create an hourglass figure. The ribbon detailing adds an extra touch of sophistication to her attire. A servant or maid stands nearby, possibly assisting with dressing or adjusting the corset as needed. This serves as a reminder that such garments were often not worn independently but required assistance due to their complexity. This print captures not only a beautiful piece of clothing but also reflects societal norms and ideals surrounding women's fashion at that time. It invites us to explore how clothing choices have evolved over time while appreciating the craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating such exquisite pieces.
