Description
This is a child boot that my friends from Black Lake (mining town) found between the walls of an old century house the had started to renovate. I could not believe my eyes I was looking at a real antique dating form over 150 year.s old the sole of the boot was made of wood..and copper was used to protect the font of the boot. Vert de gris on the copper what a discovery!!! That was worn bya child laboring at the asbestos mines long ago. I was a lucky charm back then to hide the boots of your first child between the walls when a house was being built. My friend Guy was happy I told him about that fact. I was happy he show me this boot..I will be back Guy..his house his a pleasure to visit with all the marvel of antics. You can feel the history as soon as you enter the place.

Danielle, this great photo was my selection for discussion today in the Creative Women Artists group. I appreciate this one because of the almost tactile quality of the photograph, and the interesting story about the practice of hiding the boots within the walls of the house as it is constructed. Since I am so much 'hands on' with the renovation of my house, I am always looking for things like this, too. Great discovery & photo! voted
Danielle Parent replied:
Thank you Cheri..yes this was and is still unbelievable to me that these boots were found in such a great shape. After all these years in humidity ..you can see the vert de Gris ..that tells me moisture was around..but to some extent.. I am going to ask more questions to my friends for sure I am intrigued. I would suggest that you always check the basements for sure lots of great things they found in many houses ..you would love the house and all the great finds they have . It is an Antique paradise! :-D
