Originally published in 1847. INTRODUCTION: Treated as an art,
Millinery is deservedly acknowledged to be one of no mean
importance. Painters and sculptors, in all ages, have been more or
less indebted to drapery as an admirable resource for producing
effect. Raphael excelled in the flow of his draperies; and the
phidiases of both ancient and modern times, have always closely
attended to this particular, as being one of paramount importance.
A cap or a bonnet, should not be considered merely as a covering
for the head, but also an ornament, which by the aid of judicious
managment, may be made subservient - as an adjunct - to render more
interesting the countenance of which nature has lavished her most
lovely graces...... Many of the earliest books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
