EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing collection of ancient shoes, providing a glimpse into the diverse footwear styles and fashion trends throughout history. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures the essence of these remarkable artifacts. From cloth of gold to elk skin, each shoe tells its own story. Among them are significant pieces such as the Armenian sandal believed to have been worn by Mary Queen of Scots' mother and a Roman sandal reminiscent of ancient times. A coronation shoe and a slashed Samaritan high priest's shoe also make appearances, adding regality and cultural significance to this assortment. The variety is astounding - from bound shoes to heel-worn ones; from Indian embroidered shoes to black Moroccan ones; from crimson velvet buckle shoes belonging to Charles I's era to antique Egyptian sandals. Even Chinese-style field boots find their place alongside lady's walking shoes. These well-preserved relics not only reflect the craftsmanship and artistry involved in their manufacture but also offer insights into different periods like King William IV's reign or Henry VIII's time. They provide glimpses into the lives of notable figures like Prince Albert Victor or Mary Queen of Scots herself. As we explore this image further, it becomes evident that footwear has always played an essential role in expressing individuality and reflecting societal norms across cultures and eras. This print serves as a testament to our fascination with fashion history while reminding us how even something as simple as a shoe can carry immense historical value.
