This anonymous Edwardian family group shows the great
variety of hats that were worn in that period. Sensible bonnets for children,
and for adults the larger and more flamboyant the better was the current
fashion in that pre-war era. Naturally, one
chose one’s hat and its adornments to suit one’s personality, and not everyone
conformed to the standard pattern. The woman at the back, third from the left,
is wearing the very latest style, a large flat cap that was a pointed counter
to the fancy bows, feathers and frilly additions of most female head wear.
