I could probably cut that out of the magazine and sell it for more than the magazine costs. Well, I could if that's what it really looked like. Unfortunately, it's the result of a sample/target balance exercise in Corel Photopaint, which lets me say "this colour here is supposed to be white and this colour here is supposed to be black, so go away and come back when you've transformed the whole image along those lines". This is what the original looks like:
It's still pretty good, but the ink has faded over time and the paper has yellowed.
Other images have additional problems. This one, for example, has a much darker right side of the page than it has left side:

Yes, that one in the middle does indeed have eight bows going up her back. She probably has three guys playing poker underneath that dress too, it's certainly big enough.

So, my thoughts of making a mint by buying up old copies of Victorian magazines and dismantling them for profit (which is what buyers of old copies of Victorian atlases do) are now in ruins. However, I do now have something I can bring to mind so that when a woman asks me "does my bum look big in this?" I can honestly reply "no" — or at least "no, not in that"...
