Louis Kessler 
Shoe Design and Fashion — or The American Footware Designer 

Originally published in 1918. The well illustrated contents deal with every aspect of the design and manufacture of footwear. Contents include: Anatomy of the Foot — Womens Oxfords — High Boots — Shoe Variations — Mens Patterns — Explanatory Charts — Measurements — Designing — Fancy Stitchings — Styles — Evolution of Shoe Styles — Manufacture etc. Many of the earliest fashion books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
