Here are two vintage head-and-shoulders illustrations of young girls modelling the newest artistic fancywork bonnets for summer 1908. In the July issue of The Housekeeper magazine, the bonnet on the top is referred to as an infant’s bonnet and the bonnet on the bottom is referred to a child’s melon bonnet.

Gorgeous girls, good images to colour by hand, thank you
You’re welcome, Stephanie. I used to love coloring by hand but the only coloring I do now is digital. A few weeks ago I gave away my last pack of pencil crayons (that I’ve been “saving” for years) to my youngest son Michael, who is 26, very artistic, and still enjoys coloring by hand.
