'Lady's Satin Shoes with Buckle, c.1899' Greetings Card
This vivid pen, ink and watercolour illustration depicts a pair of elegant, lady’s satin shoes with buckle and fashionable Parisian shoemaker’s mark. These shoes would have been coveted accessories for a stylish woman of the late nineteenth century and would no doubt have been worn to a formal evening supper or important, afternoon visit.
This card would be the perfect choice for history enthusiasts, historical costume aficionados, fashion lovers, shoe buffs or anyone who appreciates fine artistry.
Historical Context
Fancy footwear was a key part of late nineteenth century dress and was considered every bit as important as the elaborate bustle skirts and corseted bodices worn in the last years of the century. Shoes, especially for formal occasions, were carefully chosen to match the wearer's attire in both style and colour. Embroidery and embellishments, beads, bows and buckles all added a touch of elegance and individuality to the final ensemble.
