About this title

Synopsis

Originally published in 1847, this classic book offers a wealth of information on the subject of millinery. There are thirteen chapters on a wide variety of hats and design techniques, plus an added essay on the making of corsets. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of anyone with a interest in millinery. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
