Dover Publications, 2006.
192pp.

Publisher's recommended price
Paperback
ISBN 0486448509, $14.95

More than 400 of the author's own drawings provide an authentic record of over 1,300 years of changing fashions in women's hairstyles and headwear in England. Finely detailed images - rendered from vintage sources - depict everything from wimples and crespines worn in Anglo-Saxon times, Tudor hoods and caps, and elaborate Georgian hats and hairstyles, to early Victorian bonnets and pillboxes of the mid-twentieth century. Detailed notes on styles, materials used, and methods of manufacture are included, as is a brief glossary..
