Here are four clip art illustrations of beautiful Victorian ladies’ hats. I’ve included the catalogue description for each hat.
#1. Ladies’ Chenille Hat, pretty trimming of velvet and aigrettes, all colors; price, $6.48 to $7.98.
#2. Ladies’ Felt Hat, folds of velvet on rolling brim and prettily trimmed with velvet, quills and fancy pin; price $5.48 to $7.48.
#3. Ladies’ Felt Turban, jaunty trimming of velvet, quills and ornament; price $4.48 to $6.48.
#4. Ladies’ two-toned Felt Hat, prettily trimmed with velvet, fancy bird and ornament; price, $5.75 to $7.48.
I scanned the illustrations from the 1897-8 H. O’neill & Co. catalogue.
