Millinery is not merely the making of hats, but encompasses designing them, too. This book gives an overview of the subject of millinery, with history, and also covers artificial flowers, natural and man-made feathers, wings, quills, and miscellaneous trimmings. This is an antique book, whose original edition may be extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. The editors are republishing many of these classic works in high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
