This leaflet is pasted into an album from the Collinson archive. The text reads:
"J. Collinson & Co. 34 & 36, Bold Street, beg to introduce Two Attractive Designs chosen from their first delivery of New Spring Footwear.
The choice between a Low Heel and High Heel is a question of individual taste, but the two designs here portrayed attain Fashion's Highest Pinnacle each in its own distinctive style.
Both embody all that is best in design, craftsmanship and material.
The Low Heel Shoe is made witha welted sole, adapting it for stronger wear, whilst the Louis Heel Shoe is constructed with a 'Promenade' sole suitable for Dress and Fine Weather Occasions.
