Pair of overshoes, anonymous, c. 1819 - c. 1840 Canvas Print
Shoes made of caoutchouc or natural rubber, with scratched decoration of flowers and leaves. Research by the ICN (written communication Thea van Oostveen, 4-8-1998) shows that the shoes are made of natural rubber. There is a very small amount of sulfur present in the rubber that indicates that her ubber is only very little vulcanized. The rubber became harder, but because almost nothing was added, these shoes were very elastic. They have been affected by oxygen over the years. According to tradition, one of the first pairs of overshoes and given the elasticity of the material, this could very well be done.
