CHASTITY BELT - A Glimpse into 18th Century German Daily Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Granger Collection takes us back to medieval Germany, offering a unique insight into the intriguing world of chastity belts. The German copper engraving, dating back to the 18th century, showcases an intimate scene within a bedchamber. The image depicts a nude woman wearing a chastity belt while reclining on an obi-adorned bed. This artifact was once believed to be utilized as a means of preventing sexual activity or masturbation among women during that era. However, it is important to note that historical accuracy and usage may vary. Through this artwork, we are transported to an age where societal norms and beliefs surrounding sexuality were vastly different from our own. It invites contemplation about gender roles and power dynamics prevalent in those times. As we explore this piece further, it becomes evident that chastity belts were not solely designed for women; men also played their part in these practices. The engraving sheds light on how both genders were affected by such devices and offers glimpses into daily life during this period. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable print as part of their collection—providing viewers with an opportunity to delve into history through art's lens without any commercial connotations attached.
