Knitted English Shoes
These knitted shoes were made from a photograph of some18th Century shoes worn by Emma Dobson of Chatham Lodge in Yorkshire UK. They were made in yellow and brown kid and the little heel appears to be set well into the body of the shoe. Dating from around 1792 they seem to have survived the years extremely well. They remind me of my first pair of heels which were cherry red and chisel toed. They will form part of an exhibition at Tivoli, Waiheke Island, Auckland in September this year.
