Male head-gear, late 15th-early 16th century, (1910). Three aspects of a dandy - right, finishing his toilet: taking a silver needle from the needle-case, he is about to make the points which fix the different portions of his sleeves together. Centre - in full war-paint, with large hat, bearing seven feathers of a preposterous length and ornamented with pearls, worn over a skull-cap. Left - back view - lapelles do not meet behind. Illustration from British Costume during 19 Centuries by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, (London, 1910).
