Description |
This hatbox has the name of the milliner printed on the lid and on the bottom of the box: " Hats by / Ethel Atkins / 16 Arlington Street / BOSTON." A brown feather found in the box may be from a hat in the collection (2012.1.0005). The cardboard hatbox is decorated with colorful renderings of a lady, gentleman, and two children watching a horse drawn coach and bicyclists pass by. Red silk yarn passes through metal grommets and is knotted on the interior to attach to the box. |
