Anatomical Board Corset Hera Junon Lingerie Overweight Skinny Ugliness Anatomist Chromolithography Chromo

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Beauty and deformity of the woman's body (lean and obesity); Juno's belts - in 'The woman, home doctor', 19th century" by an Unknown Artist from the 19th century showcases a thought-provoking exploration of beauty standards and body image. The Private Collection piece captures the essence of contrasting physical forms, highlighting both lean figures and obesity. In this intriguing composition, we witness a juxtaposition between two extremes: one representing society's idealized notion of beauty characterized by slimness, while the other challenges conventional norms with its portrayal of overweight bodies. The artist skillfully presents these opposing perspectives on femininity through intricate details such as Juno's belts, which symbolize notions of ugliness and knowledge. Through chromolithography techniques, this photograph delves into various themes including anatomy, fashion trends like corsets and lingerie, natural history, and even mythology with references to Hera Junon. Leonard de Selva expertly captures every nuance in this anatomical board-like depiction that invites viewers to contemplate societal expectations surrounding physical appearance. As we observe this historical artwork out of copyright restrictions, it serves as a reminder that perceptions of beauty have evolved over time. It encourages us to question our own preconceived notions about attractiveness while appreciating the diversity found within the human form. This remarkable piece is not just a visual representation but also an invitation for introspection on how our understanding of beauty has shaped our culture throughout history.
