From timeless elegance to bold statements, it has always been an art form. Take a step back in time with Hermes' exquisite craftsmanship in 1886, captured beautifully by Jonnard's brush strokes (Picture No. 11768937). The Old Fisherman, portrayed by Joseph Edward Southall in 1903, showcases the durability and practicality of shoes even in the harshest conditions. Field Marshal Lord Roberts, depicted by Lafayette in 1902, exemplifies the power and authority that can be conveyed through footwear. In Northampton's thriving shoe industry, W Barratt & Co Ltd left their mark with stunning brochure illustrations and covers throughout history. Their designs from 1926 display a variety of ladies boots that catered to every taste (Picture No. 11072946). Meanwhile, Raoul Shoe Company made waves with their innovative advertising techniques as early as 1912. But it's not just about aesthetics; technology has also played a role in revolutionizing footwear. Witness the intriguing X-ray Stiletto High-Heeled Shoe that reveals its inner structure like never before. And for those curious about what lies beneath the surface when wearing stilettos or any other shoe style, an MRI-style X-ray captures it all. Footwear is not only a fashion statement but also reflects cultural movements and subcultures like skinheads. Fifteen-year-old Chris Harward poses proudly at home with his mother Joan while sporting his distinctive skinhead style. Whether you appreciate classic designs or embrace cutting-edge innovation, there is no denying that footwear holds immense significance both artistically and functionally throughout history.
