Which Victorian-era lady will have worn these black leather lacing / lace-up boots? We wonder and our thoughts fill with images of the past.
The boots have not been walked on very much, it does have some signs of wear, but the elegant boots are certainly still very decorative.

Nice to go back in time with this German fashion magazine, called Illustrirte Frauen-zeitung. In this issue of April 1, 1886 you can see dresses, jackets and parasols. Also an overview of Victorian hats and all kinds of accessories and even some embroidery patterns. Nice leaf to leaf through or to frame the plates, for example. Small cut in the bottom of the magazine, but this is not disturbingly present in the plates and the text

This old Victorian so-called Penny Lick glass was used for ice cream in the late 1800s. The customer paid a penny for a scoop of ice cream that was scooped into the glass. Then the ice cream could be licked out of the glass. Because of the thick glass it seemed as if there was a lot of ice in the glass. When the ice cream was finished, the glass was returned to the ice cream man and the glass was filled again without cleaning it for the next customer. After more is known was about infectious diseases and hygiene, this way of selling ice cream was no longer used. The thick glass made it seem like you were getting a big scoop of ice cream. When the ice cream was finished, the glass was returned and refilled without cleaning it.
