This HISTORIC item includes general history, use, details and instructions regarding the millinery artificial flower, fruit and rare bird feather materials used in the Titanic Era Millinery Trade. It covers the do's and don't's of which flower, fruit or feather arrangements, should, or should not, be worn by whom, and how, every season of the year! During the aftermath of Audubon's, and various rare bird conservation groups, success at stemming the rare bird feather trade in the late 1800's the clever Millinery artists created many man-made substitutes for the various restricted and banned feathers and ornaments used in the Millinery trade. Their artistic success was historically proven as the booming trade in their lovely handmade feather ornaments were so sought after for millinery, clothing and household decorative use!
