The feet of many of the Indian women seem formed to rival those of the unclear de medici. They possess the same construction, the instep high and the foot arched, the toes strait & fully formed & free in their motions, The direction of the four toes forming a slight angle with the great toe & the second toe projecting beyond it, for it is the longest.
