Ladies' Old-fashioned Shoes 1885 - Thomas Watson Greig (1837-1912) - 22 images

Shoe illustrations from the collection of antiquarian shoe collector, Thomas Watson Greig of Glencarse (1837-1912).  It's unclear whether the illustrations were made by Greig himself or by an unknown third party. They were lithographed by George Waterston & Sons.

The book is introduced by Greig:- "The following Illustrations of Old Shoes are intended to preserve in an intelligible form what is fast crumbling into dust; and it has been my endeavour to collect the very best and most authentic specimens, as well as to show the variety of shapes and the excellence of the workmanship and design used by our ancestors."
