Millinery for Every Woman c.1926 by Georgina Kerr Kaye Circa 1926. 383 Pages. A spectacular book on the topic of Hat Making from shortly before the depression in the Gilded age. This is one of the most comprehensive books I have seen on the topic. T are over 800 numbered illustrations, it covers all aspect of millinery from making frames to making over 100 types of flowers and leaves. Due to the weight of this book, additional postage will be required to ship Internationally.This book is enormous! You will not find this one anyw else - I am sure of it! No one but I would be crazy enough to reproduce a book that is almost 400 pages in length and has over 800 numbered illustrations! It was well worth the effort, though because this book is one that should not be forgotten. It is loaded will information about making hats from the frames to the flowers - and not just one or two kinds of flowers, but dozens of them! are the chapter headings from the table of contents:PART ONEI.
