What can you tell me about these two men?
I understood they were father and son but which is which? When where they painted?
Probably painted in London definitely 19thC.
They were both cut down from full size and no obvious signature though they are rather dirty.
Thanks

The Museum at Northampton, historically the centre of shoe manufacturing in England, has an Index of Concealed Shoes, which registers all footwear discovered within historic houses, not just in the UK but across the world.
