Victorian Lace-Up Ankle Boot by John Wanamaker - Historical Fashion Illustration #1940262 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white engraving depicts a late-Victorian women’s ankle boot manufactured by John Wanamaker, a prominent American department store. The boot features a slender pointed toe, a low stacked heel, decorative perforated piping along the seams, and a vertical row of ornamental eyelets with laces culminating in a ribbon bow at the top. The upper appears to be made of smooth leather or kid, with subtle texturing indicating fine craftsmanship typical of high-end retail footwear of the era.
