Ladies' old-fashioned shoes

PLATE VI.

Reading edition

Lady Mary Mordaunt was the owner of this shoe, the material of which is closely spotted black silk. The shoe is without bow, tie, or straps, and has a plain and insignificant appearance; and its low heel makes it partake rather too much of the nature of a slipper.

A dark low-heeled shoe with a pointed toe, covered in a repeating pattern of small dots.
