This intricate line drawing depicts a classic mid-to-late 19th-century corset, featuring vertical steel boning channels, a rigid front busk with five metal clasps, and scalloped lace trim along the upper edge. The waist is sharply cinched, emphasizing the hourglass silhouette popular during the Victorian era, while the bust and hip sections flare gently to accommodate natural contours. Cross-hatching and stippling techniques add depth and texture, suggesting fabric layers and internal construction details.
