Flat Foot Floozie with the Floy Floy / well not really, but for some reason that’s the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this engraving with this poor girls’ feet  :D
—
The actual title is “Acadian Girl” - an 1879 engraving by Allen C. Redwood for “The Acadians of Louisiana” by R. L. Daniels

–The title that sprang to mind was the 1938 song written by Slim Gaillard and made popular by Louis Armstrong & the Mills Brothers among others.  The word Floozie was changed to Floogie to allow radio play, but “floy floy” managed to sneak by - being slang for Venereal Disease  :D  All of America at one time sang along happily to the “Flat footed whore with the Clap” / that still makes me giggle

Go here to hear it if you don’t know it:
