In honor of springtime and my fascination with all things yellow and vibrant (and in keeping with this season’s particular focus on the ballet flat), I present these early Regency period English ladies’ shoes. I think they’re adorable, and I’d most certainly wear them if they were manufactured now.

I think the white embroidered satin detail on the toe is just darling.

These are in the footwear collection of the Northampton Museum and Art Gallery.
