X-Ray of Woman Wearing Corset, 1908
X-ray image (back view) of a woman wearing a corset from the second volume of the French doctor Ludovic O'Followell's Le Corset (1908). Although Dr O'Followell was clearly keen to show the damaging impact of corsets on women's health, he did not actually want the corset to be abolished, but was simply trying to encourage a less severe design. Dr O'Followell in fact continued to write a regular column for the deluxe corsetier's magazine Les Dessous Elegance.
