The exhibition in 1889-90 is the earliest reference I have as to where they came from originally. I figured it would be a good starting point to see if the museum which displayed them in that show had any other information as to where they came from, who owned them, approximately what year they were made, etc. And if not, it would be interesting at least to know where they were shown in order to update the museum record.
The Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Missouri, where the shoes are currently, has little information other than an approximate date and the fact that the shoes were in an exhibition somewhere in London in 1889 with the registration #174.1.
I have a book cataloging a Tudor show from London in 1890 from the New Gallery on Regent Street. However, the accession numbers don't match up. I'm wondering if perhaps there's another exhibition from that year at another gallery somewhere in London.

Hi Shari,
What exactly is your interest in these shoes? How they were displayed in
1889-90, or are you interested in their provenance before then and the
display you mention is simply the earliest reference point you have? This
may help us to direct your search more specifically.
Kind Regards,
Jerry

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Tudor Exhibition 1889-90
Hello Everyone,
I'm currently a graduate student at the University of Missouri, Columbia.
I'm working on an object, a pair of Tudor shoes (or at least that's what
they're cataloged as), that are currently at the Museum of Art and
Archaeology here. According to the file, they were on display in 1889-90 I
believe the exhibit was at the British museum from newspaper articles that I
have found, but I'm not positive. The file for the shoes simply says
"London". Does anyone know where I could find records of shows in London
from the late 19th Century?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
