EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of exquisite evening slippers, crafted in Britain during the mid-19th century. Created by the renowned Gundry & Sons, these shoes epitomize Victorian elegance and style. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of their design. Made from luxurious silk fabric, these slippers feature a striking striped pattern that adds a touch of sophistication to any ensemble. The combination of colors creates a harmonious contrast, making them visually appealing and eye-catching. The delicate metal embellishments further enhance their beauty, adding an element of glamour and refinement. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of footwear history, we are transported back to an era where fashion was meticulously crafted with care and precision. These evening slippers not only serve as a testament to the skillful artistry of Gundry & Sons but also reflect the evolving trends and tastes prevalent during the 19th century. Now preserved within the esteemed collections of both the Brooklyn Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artifact serves as a reminder of our rich sartorial heritage. It stands as an embodiment of femininity, grace, and timeless beauty - encapsulating all that was cherished in women's attire during this period. With each glance at this photograph print by Gundry & Sons, we are reminded that fashion is more than just clothing; it is an expression of culture, history, and individuality woven together seamlessly on fabric for generations to admire.
