The image, published by Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the exterior of a shop in Oxford or London, where this electrical appliance was sold. The Harness Electropathic Belt, a unique combination of fashion and technology, was marketed as a comfortable and effective treatment for various ailments. The belt, which resembled a corset, harnessed the power of electricity to invigorate the debilitated constitution. The mild continuous current of electricity, guaranteed not to fail, was believed to cure a range of health issues, from nervous disorders to digestive problems. The advertisement promises that the Harness Electropathic Belt is both comfortable to wear and an effective remedy. The image of the shop, with its ornate signage and Victorian-era clothing, adds to the intrigue and allure of this electrifying medical device. The use of the battery to power the belt was a testament to the technological advancements of the time, and the belief in the healing power of electricity was a common belief during the late 19th century.
