The Chastity Belt - A Glimpse into Medieval History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This color photo print, titled "The Chastity Belt" takes us back in time to the medieval era. Captured by a talented French photographer of the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection and showcases an intriguing artifact from history. In this postcard-like photograph, we see a young girl dressed in an elaborate green costume, kneeling on a cushioned kneeler. Her attire consists of a beautifully crafted doublet adorned with furs, reflecting the fashion trends of that era. However, what truly captures our attention is the prominent chastity belt she wears around her waist. The chastity belt was historically believed to be worn by women as a means to protect their virtue and prevent any sexual encounters outside marriage. This controversial piece sparks curiosity and invites us to delve deeper into its historical significance. Accompanied by other elements such as the Phrygian cap and various dresses hanging in the background, this image provides valuable insights into medieval clothing customs and social norms surrounding female modesty. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable photograph that offers us glimpses into both historical dress practices and societal attitudes towards women during that period. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring our past heritage.
