Title: Nature Versus Corsets, 1903
Caption: Entitled: "Nature versus corsets. Two pictures of a woman's torso; one showing a woman without a corset, the other showing the effects on the internal organs and bones when wearing a corset." A comparative illustration to denounce the medical crimes of the corset, showing how it cripples and restricts the inner bodily organs in women. The most common and well-known use of corsets is to slim the body and make it conform to a fashionable silhouette. For women, this most frequently emphasizes a curvy figure by reducing the waist and thereby exaggerating the bust and hips. This image has been color enhanced.
