A comprehensive view of each period s hat and bonnet styles is presented in superb quality professional photos, with side, back, and closeup views when pertinent. Interior views on many styles show construction details for millinery enthusiasts. Many twentieth century couture label hats are shown, including Jeanne Lanvin, Caroline Reboux, Maison Lewis, Schiaparelli, Marei-Alphonsine Modes, Lilly Dache, Hattie Carnegie, and more. Other prominent labels include New York Creations, Gage Hats, Milbrae Hats, Talbert, and Trebor Originals.
