Ancient Boots and Modern Fashion Echo Through History
A sweeping, fragmentary survey traces footwear from ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian attire to Greek and Persian styles, highlighting sandals, boots, and ornamental footwear. It notes carvings and reliefs showing boot forms, references to Meroitic and Theban art, and a tale of a famed orator using boot-top tricks to draw crowds. It also parodies modern hotel fantasies and a playful prophecy of future American hotel grandeur with balloons and automated servants.

A garbled 19th century reminiscence describes naval actions and an expedition bound for the Missouri.
