Picture No 10724105
Date 1918
Description Foot x rays showing damage done by wearing high heels
Details

A double page spread from The Sketch reporting on the unnatural stresses put on the feet by the wearing of high heels, which had been banned by the French medical profession being bad for the feet and encouraging poor posture. Women who objected to being flat footed were advised to wear heels of not more than four centimetres. The sketches among the X-rays are by the famous French cartoonist, Sem.
