A beautiful and uncommon catalogue of hats created by the French milliner Marcelle Demay for her 1912 collection. She commissioned noted fashion illustrator Charles Martin to execute the brightly coloured designs. Accompanying these are photographs (by Talbot) of French actress Berthe Cerny modelling the hats.
