Notes
Content: Printed on border: "We have thought that the best way, therefore, would be to give various styles that have been in use in different periods of the world's history, so as to afford hints which intelligent ladies might utilize, if they had the daring for it. For this purpose, there can be no better way than to make selections from the antique; for, esthetically, the Romans -- and, to an even greater degree, the Greeks -- have never had their equals in the knowledge of the beautiful. We give, therefore, in this article, a selection of head-dresses, taken from busts, statues, vases, and bas-reliefs in the British Museum and elsewhere." Written on border: "May 1886" Includes additional text.
Source note: The Peterson magazine. (Philadelphia : Charles J. Peterson, 1842-1898).
