Black Silk Bonnet
1770’s-90’s
About 18th Century Bonnets:
18th Century Bonnets were worn by all classes of women, including countless runaway servants and slaves...as listed in the Pennsylvania Gazette and other prominent papers of the day. Countless images survive in Mezzotint satires and other publications & prints. The most common type of bonnet was Black silk, although other colors & fabrics such as velvet and linen were also widely used. Most bonnets were made with a large brim at the front, and decorated with ribbon self trimming and bows. We base the style of our 18th century bonnets on those shown in several Mezzotint Satires of the time, and upon a very few extant examples in museum collections.
These bonnets are appropriate for the last quarter of the 18th century.
