Ladies' old-fashioned shoes
A late nineteenth-century book of historical women's footwear, published in Edinburgh in 1885 by David Douglas with lithographs by George Waterston & Sons, written by T. Watson Greig for a general reading audience interested in fashion history. Its pictures show numbered shoes drawn in fine tonal line, with ornate heels, buckles and curled toes arranged against a plain ground, offering a designer clear silhouettes and decorative detail from an earlier period.
