Springtime blooms meet elegant headwear in this charming collection of vintage photographs. Veils and flowers trim our spring hats, adding a touch of whimsy and romance to the season. Above, a Marcelle Lely model from Debenhams dons a beige Rodier hat with a soft, furry surface, reminiscent of spring's gentle touch. The hat's timeless elegance is echoed in the art of yesteryear, from the Assumption of the Virgin in an Initial V manuscript leaf to the Holy Family scene with St. John the Baptist. The playful spirit of spring is also captured in the lively images Minty, a dancer and muse of the early 20th century, as she dances the Spider Dance and performs in the production of Come Over Here.
