In 1741, an enterprising Dutch sea captain transported a young, female Indian rhinoceros from Assam to Europe where she was displayed before everyone from peasants to princes. In an age before railways and modern roads, the three-ton Clara traveled in an enormous coach drawn by eight horses. She journeyed across mainland Europe and Britain for 17 years, becoming a favorite of Frederick the Great and Louis XV. She modeled for scientific portraits and etchings; she inspired poems, songs, and fashions; and she was duly immortalized in everything from tin coins to the finest porcelain. Awarded the prestigious Institute of Historical Research Prize, Glynis Ridley's sparkling history brings Clara's tragicomic story vividly to life. Clara's Grand Tour is also a portrait of an era that saw the rhinoceros as both an object of marvel and a challenge to fundamental philosophical and theological beliefs.Binding Type: Paperback

Love them!
Size: 7, Color: Maple Suede
These are a classic! Amazing materials and product. If you have never owned a pair, be aware that the soles will get dirty quickly and visibly noticeable. I would say true to size in what you were in sneakers.

Title: A Perfect Fit for Style and Comfort!
Size: 10, Color: Black Leather 1, Size: 10, Color: Black Leather 1
I recently purchased a pair of Clarks Wallabees for my son, and I couldn't be happier with the choice! From the moment he slipped them on, it was clear that these shoes are designed for both comfort and style.
The classic design is versatile enough to pair with almost any outfit, making them perfect for school or casual outings. The leather exterior of the shoe is not only stylish but also feels and looks great on his feet.
What impressed me the most is the sturdy construction. These shoes seem built to last, and I can already tell they will withstand the wear and tear of an active lifestyle. Plus, the cushioning provides excellent support for his growing feet.
Overall, I highly recommend Clarks Wallabees for any parent looking for a stylish, comfortable, and durable shoe for their child. They’re a fantastic investment in both quality and style!
