Art work details
A pair of digital socks in black wool. They were probably knitted on a glove machine. They have ribbed cuffs. One sock has a card attached with matching wool (for darning) and is stamped in gold 'The Jaeger Co., Ltd, London, Pure Wool, Foreign'. Dr Jaeger advocated wool as the only healthy fibre to wear. His ideas were adopted as by the movement towards healthier clothing in the 1880s. George Bernard Shaw was the most famous advocate of these ideas.
