A woman leans over a wooden counter to inspect a corset laid out among other goods at a market stall. Corsets were a near-universal layer of women's dress in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and open-air markets like this one were where many working families bought clothing, cloth and notions, often haggling over each item. Scenes like this show how everyday shopping and personal dress were tied together, and the close attention in her posture hints at how carefully such a purchase was weighed.
