Turner Wilcox’s The Mode in Hats and Headdress (1945).  The set has 198 plates, including the ones above (right plate is from the book’s final chapter, 1940-1944; the book starts with the Ancient Egyptians).

    Very interesting! Thanks! I have some vintage hats in my shop and some of them are so unusual it is difficult to figure out how they would have been worn.
