Ladies Dress Shoes. Plate IX.

About the Item

LADIES DRESS SHOES. Plate IX. The charming color lithograph from “Ladies’ Dress Shoes of the Nineteenth Century” was assembled by the antiquarian/shoe collector T. Watson Greig of Glencarse and published in Edinburgh by David Douglas in 1900. This print comes with a companion text sheet. Text for plate IX: "The first shoe of this plate would be remarkable for neatness, though it might be thought somewhat spoilt by a squareness of toe, but it will be noticed the idea of squareness appears carried out otherwise in the cut of the shoe. The space between the principal strap and the three small ones crossing the foot makes an uncommon variety. The little bows of trilled silk (of which the shoe also is constructed) give a chic, if somewhat formal finish, to each band. the heel is a Louis shape. Figure 2 belonged to an Edinburgh belle of the season of 1872, and is of tiny dimensions, though the old fashion of ornamenting with a large bow deprived the wearers of these small sizes of some of the credit. The third and most elegant shoe possesses one of the highest Louis heels worn off the stage, and belonged to an American lady who, like several others, came to this country and acquired for herself the right to the motto first adopted by Alexander the Great - namely, 'Veni, Vidi, Vici."
