Poke Bonnet Update

Referring to this post on poke bonnets and the mysterious hat that may have been for either women or children.

While searching through Victorian Hats Vol. 4, I discovered a picture that leads both Kiki and I to be correct! This style of summer hat may be worn by both women and children at the beach to shield from the sun.

If you click on the picture you can get the large image, which includes the hat description at the bottom and the year at the top.
