Editorial fashion from 1918. These are meant as examples and are from the book “Costume Design and Illustration” which was written by Ethel Traphagen. There are more of these but these are, I think, the most charming. Well the Paquin one (the first) with what was no doubt the head of one of the big cats as the whiskers and eyes have been kept along with the ears. So not exactly charming but still it’s Paquin so worth a look.
