About This Item
New York: O'Sullivan Rubber Company, 1912. 16mo, 20 pp,, with illustrations in color Cord bound pictorial wraps. Not found in OCLC as of 11/26/2022.
Covers with short separation (1.5") at the top of the spine, lightly soiled, modest edge wear including a short tear at the rear cover, otherwise very good.
"When it comes to grace, the poetry of motion, woman, as she is more beautiful than man, so best acquires and exhibits in her walk the grace that is proof of health and beauty, and a demand for the homage of man."
Presumably, these qualities are most easily achieved by wearing shoes equipped with O'Sullivan rubber heels as available from the P.L. Barney Shoe Company of Lynn, Massachusetts. Please note, this advertising piece does not include examples of specific footwear but does, oddly, provide a brief description of Chinese water torture which is likened to the experience of walking in ill-fitting shoes.
