An advertisement for Le Corset Xavière, credited to A. Claverie, puts a single brand name and a designer's hand at the center of the image. Corset makers in France in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries relied heavily on colorful printed advertising, including posters, trade cards, and catalog illustrations, to promote a fashionable silhouette alongside claims of comfort and good posture. Such images also show how closely commerce, taste, and ideas about the ideal female figure were tied together at the time.
