This wood engraving, titled "Corset (1855)" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of femininity and fashion during that era. Published in 1883, this engraved image showcases a corset, an essential undergarment worn by women at the time. The profile view of the corset emphasizes its form-fitting nature, accentuating the curves of the female body. The intricate details captured through woodcut technique highlight both the craftsmanship involved in creating such garments and their significance in shaping women's bodies according to societal standards. As we delve into this ethnocultural history piece, we can appreciate how corsets were not merely functional but also served as symbols of beauty and elegance.
