EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating comparison between the chest and ribcage of two iconic figures from different eras. On one side, we have the timeless beauty of the Venus de Milo, a renowned sculpture that has captivated audiences for centuries with its graceful form. On the other side, we are presented with an engraving depicting a late 19th-century French socialite. The purpose behind this intriguing visual is to shed light on the effect of wearing corsets during that era. The illustration was originally created as part of Anna Fischer's book "La Femme, Medecin du Foyer" (1900), emphasizing how fashion choices like corsets could drastically alter women's bodies. By comparing these two representations, it becomes evident how corsetry distorted not only the shape but also the internal anatomy of women at that time. This thought-provoking image prompts us to reflect on societal standards of beauty and their impact on physical health throughout history. Through this juxtaposition, we gain insight into both artistic expression and medical science. It serves as a reminder that our perception of beauty evolves over time and highlights the importance of embracing diverse body shapes while prioritizing overall well-being in today's society.
