Since ancient times, men and women have used hats and headgear for adornment and protection. This stunningly comprehensive survey, arranged chronologically, illustrates the astonishing range of styles — from Egyptian headdresses and plumed turbans to modern homburgs. With notes on period hairstyles, jewelry, and cosmetics, it's a unique reference for stylists and designers.
Reprint of the Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1959 edition.
