My love of booted women in period drag and pre-1960's bootage collide when you do much web searching for "As You Like It" one of Shakespeare's "woman disguised as a boy" comedies. Oddly the more popular Twelfth Night returns fewer hits. Judging by these pictures it's safe to say that turn of the century stage costumes easily outpace modern attempts.
Nice to see Helen Mirren suede booted up in the first.
