  • Slippers, 1805–1815
The extremely short vamp and rounded toe  are particularly notable characteristics of this date.  The heel was  becoming vestigial in the first quarter of the century, and although low  by modern standards, the variety seen here was one of the higher types  produced at the time.

  • By summer seas, Charles Sims c.1904

Whatever task Sims  approaches he carries it out with keen enjoyment … Life is an eternal  Arcadian holiday for him … The key-note of his art is an intense joie  de vivre. And this joie de vivre expressed in his paintings is  contagious. The serene happiness of Sims’ art makes the spectator forget  all the worries and tribulations and petty concerns of his daily life
