Ladies Dress Shoes. Plate XI.

About the Item

LADIES DRESS SHOES. Plate XI. The charming color lithograph is from the collection of “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 XI: "This shoe of Cromwellian shape hails from the stage, and boasts the highest heel in the collection. It is thickly embroidered in small crystal beads studded with cabochons, the latter also in clear crystal, which is a decoration difficult to beat. The wide tonge is kept in place by a strap, which would require a diamond or silver buckle to fasten it at the side, not visible in the illustration. The lining is of pale blue satin. No. 2 is owned by a society belle, whose beauty may be said to extend from 'top to toe,' as the toe, or rather toes, encased in this foot-gear must be of the smallest and daintiest description, and demanding a share of the admiration granted to their lovely owner's figure and face. The next shoe is a wedding shoe, looking strange to us in its old-world form, but the very mould of fashion in its day, which dates nearly forty years ago."
