EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The female waist at different periods" takes us on a journey through time, showcasing the ever-changing ideals of beauty and fashion. Created by an English School in the 19th century, this engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of women's waists. From the narrow and high-waisted styles popular in 1390 to the wide and low-waisted trends of 1590, this artwork highlights how societal standards have shaped women's bodies throughout history. The image also includes depictions from 1780 and 1815, representing two distinct eras where waistlines were emphasized differently. Displayed as an illustration for The Family Doctor and Peoples Medical Adviser in April 1886, this print not only showcases historical fashion but also hints at the intersection between medicine and beauty during that period. It serves as a reminder that even our perception of health has been influenced by changing cultural norms. "The female waist at different periods" is more than just a visual representation; it invites contemplation about society's expectations placed upon women throughout time. As we gaze upon these images captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded that beauty truly lies in diversity – both within historical contexts and contemporary perspectives.
