DeutschLudovic O'Followell
Ludovic O'Followell (born 1872 in Portslade - 29 January 1965) was a French medical doctor and writer.[1][2] He is best known for his work demonstrating the effects of corsets on the shape of the rib cage with X-rays. Following the publication of Le Corset in 1905 and 1908, he encouraged a less severe design of corset and wrote a regular column for the corsetier magazine Les Dessous.[3]
