Easter Bonnet, 1900

Entitled "Sweet peas", this photograph shows a young girl wearing a frilly dress and hat, seated, holding a bouquet of sweet peas. An Easter bonnet is a type of hat that women and girls wear to Easter services, and in the Easter parade following it. Ladies purchased new and elaborate designs for particular church services, and in the case of Easter, taking the opportunity of the end of Lent to buy luxury items. Now, in a more casual society, Easter Bonnets are becoming harder to find, as fewer and fewer women bother with the tradition. Photographed by Eva Gamble Warborn, 1900.
