The Louisa Ann
|
|
The
1840's blocked crown coal scuttle
bonnet. The style is marked by the
horizontal line from the crown to
the brim. The bonnet creates the
classic 1840's horseshoe shaped
silhouette.

|
The Lydia Alma
|
|
A coal scuttle
style bonnet introduced around
1840. The style differed
greatly from its poke bonnet
predecessors by the horizontal line
from back to front with no flare.
|
|
The Arabella Grace
|
|
An 1840's
cottage bonnet with a blocked crown popular in the 1840's.
The brim flared more than its coal
scuttle predecessors. The
style creates a horseshoe silhouette
around the face.
|
|
The Ada Gray
|
|
A cottage
bonnet introduced in the
mid 1840's. The style continued in
use into 1850's and was featured in
Godey's Lady's Book as late
as 1854.
