Notes
Content: Written on border: "May 1855" Printed on border: "The 'shape' or skeleton which we give below, will serve to show the general form of bonnets, as they will be worn for the season. The trimmings, which give the special character to each specimen, are varied in ways almost infinite. We illustrate one composed of pink taffeta. … We observe that curtains cut in a point behind, and others open or slashed at the same place, are apparently coming into favor." Includes additional text.
Source note: Harper's magazine. (New York : Harper Brothers, 1850-).
