1910s. Colonial pumps mimicking 18th century styling. Pale blue kidskin with a medium-length vamp (toe) coming to a pointed narrow oval toe in front and extending in back to the middle of the arch of the foot. The quarters (backs) are sewn together at center back and extend over the instep in front to form short, one-eyelet open tabs or latchets over a short tongue. The eyelets are stitched, and threaded with a wide blue grosgrain ribbon tied into a large bow. All edges are bound with twill tape. The continuous leather sole incorporates a kidskin-covered French/Louis heel. The vamp is lined in cotton and the quarters are lined in leather. A woven maker's label is sewn to the lining of the quarter, and an abbreviated maker's label is stamped into the sole at the arch of the foot. Professionally made. Machine-sewn.
