Originally published in 1891, this small, very rare catalog contains over 140 hat and bonnet millinery items. This catalog is an incredible reference to the hat styles of the Victorian era and depicts not only plain hats that could be purchased, but also line drawing models demonstrating the decorating of the hats for a unique look. Fancy ribbons and flowers were the classic look of this era and the ideas for fashioning your own vintage hats can be pulled directly from the pages of this catalog and recreated for your own use. This is such a fantastic reference piece for the millinery enthusiast, fashion designer, hat creator, or historian.

Please see pictures for a sampling of the images included. Be sure to check our other listings for more vintage millinery and millinery-related books.
