A Polish translation of Carl Heinrich Stratz\u2019s acclaimed book *Die Sch\u00f6nheit des weiblichen K\u00f6rpers*, which combines anatomy, hygiene, and art history in an attempt to describe the canon of female beauty. The German original, illustrated with numerous nude photographs, caused a moral uproar and went through several dozen editions. Stratz, a physician, primarily criticized the corset as the cause of skeletal deformities, contrasting natural figures with those deformed by the corset; the book was part of the clothing reform movement of the time. Some of the anthropological arguments reflect the views of its era. It was translated by Dr. Edmund Biernacki, a physician known today as the discoverer of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).<\/p>\n
The book is in good condition, with a few loose pages. One color plate is missing.<\/p>\n
