[Rarebooks] FS: 1879 Survey of Antique & Modern Hats

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

 "Head-Gear, Antique and Modern"

By R.H. Wadleigh. Published in Boston by Coleman & Maxwell in 1879.

The author ran Wadleigh’s Fashionable Millinery and Cap Rooms in Boston,
and this booklet presents a broad historical survey of women’s headgear
from the ancient Egyptians to the 1850s as well as several plates of
“modern” hats which are, of course, available at his establishment.
Uncommon.

Card covers. 6”x8”, 41 pages, plus an extra page with text on one side and
a lithographed plate on the other. Publisher’s pictorial covers with some
wear and soil, and a few small chips and closed tears, tips thumbed.
Several gentle creases run through the book, as can be seen in the photo
above, left. Some general wear and soil throughout. Fragile but intact. 
$125.00
