Great analysis of 19th Century footwear...
Thanks for that post OC Richard...thoroughly interesting study. I note that all the toes on MacLeay's portraits appear squared off and rather pointy (no toe box). Is this representative of the footwear of the time, or more the result of MacLeay's painting/drawing style? I know that his works are renowned for their attention to detail, etc...
