Description
A British trade advertisement for repairs to ladies’ boots and shoes. A large black high-heeled shoe, picked out in white with two buckle straps, leads the composition above bold blue lettering announcing “BOOTS & SHOES REPAIRED”. A scrolling banner carries the promise of “Best Workmanship”, while a decorative red border frames the message.
The contrast between elegant footwear illustration and practical service announcement gives the design the character of early twentieth-century high-street advertising. The imprint credits Samuel Reeves as printer and seller, an appealing detail of its trade-poster origin.
