EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of vintage advertisements for corsets and undergarments, taken from the Bon Marche catalogue before 1914. The engraving, created by an anonymous French School artist in the early twentieth century, is a testament to the timeless allure of fashion. The image transports us back to a bygone era when corsetry was an essential part of women's attire. The adverts feature elegant models donning various styles of corsets, bodices, bras, suspender belts, and lace lingerie. These undergarments were meticulously designed to accentuate the female form while providing support and comfort. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight the craftsmanship involved in creating these garments. From delicate lacework to perfectly tailored waistlines, each piece exudes sophistication and femininity. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how fashion has evolved over time. This glimpse into early twentieth-century style allows us to appreciate the foundations upon which modern lingerie design stands today. Preserved within the archives at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France; this photograph serves as a reminder that fashion is not merely about clothing but also reflects societal norms and ideals surrounding beauty and self-expression. Through its simplicity yet elegance, this print invites us to explore our fascination with both past trends and enduring concepts of femininity.
