The Louisa Ann
|
|
The
1840's blocked crown coal scuttle
bonnet. The style is marked by the
horizontal line from the crown to
the brim. The bonnet creates the
classic 1840's horseshoe shaped
silhouette.

The Lydia Alma
|
|
A coal scuttle
style bonnet introduced around
1840. The style differed
greatly from its poke bonnet
predecessors by the horizontal line
from back to front with no flare.
The flat crown can be wadded for a
softer look.

|
The Arabella Grace
|
|
An 1840's
cottage bonnet with a blocked crown popular in the 1840's.
The brim flared more than its coal
scuttle predecessors. The
style creates a horseshoe silhouette
around the face.
|
|
The Ada Gray
|
|
A cottage
bonnet popular in the
mid 1840's. The style continued in
use into 1850's and was featured in
Godey's Lady's Book as late
as 1856.
