From the Shoe Museum in Mexico City, these shoes were specially made in celebration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth the Second of Great Britain, in 1953. Special decorations on the vamps . . . . . .

It’s still plenty cold outside, so over the next two weeks I’ll be showing the last of my beautiful winter coats. The photos I was able to get from the shoe museum will be interspersed with them – lovely examples of near-new footwear from about 1920 – 1970.
