The corset is made of woven linen with a set of hooks and cord lacings, as well as various straps. The brace is of fine leather, stitched to cover a very firm metal (but not attracting a magnet) plate, curved to the lower back. There's no label. There is a number (2157 on one part and 215702 on another). Le corset est fait de lin tissé avec un ensemble de crochets et de lacets en corde, ainsi que diverses sangles. Le corset est en cuir fin, cousu pour recouvrir une plaque de métal très ferme (mais qui n'attire pas l'aimant), courbée vers le bas du dos. Il n'y a pas d'étiquette. Il y a un numéro (2157 sur une partie et 215702 sur une autre).
Function
To provide physical support to the wearer’s torso. Fournir un soutien physique au torse du porteur.
Technical
According to the donor: “The corset belonged to my Dad, whose back problems (according to my brother) went back to his rugby playing days in Australia. (My brother has a memory of him saying that was why Dad had to stop playing (at a fairly competitive level), although he wasn't sure if that was prewar or post war. My brother is guessing prewar, when Dad was in his 30s. Post war Dad would have been in his mid-40s and that would connect to his mentioning back problems in India (where he served in the Indian Army).” Selon le donateur : "Le corset appartenait à mon père, dont les problèmes de dos (selon mon frère) remontaient à l'époque où il jouait au rugby en Australie. (Mon frère se souvient qu'il lui avait dit que c'était la raison pour laquelle mon père avait dû arrêter de jouer (à un niveau assez compétitif), mais il ne savait pas si c'était avant ou après la guerre. Mon frère suppose que c'était avant la guerre, lorsque papa avait la trentaine. Après la guerre, papa aurait eu une quarantaine d'années, ce qui serait lié aux problèmes de dos qu'il a connus en Inde (où il servait dans l'armée indienne).
