The images featured here are from “Ladies’ Dress Shoes of the Nineteenth Century,” a publication by Captain Thomas Watson Greig housed in the Research Library at the National Museum of Scotland. Interestingly, this publication dates back to 1900, indicating that our fascination with fancy footwear is not a recent phenomenon but has been a significant part of our culture for quite some time.
