[Catalog]

Boyden, Malloy & Co. (New York, N.Y.) · 1875 · The Company · 106 pictures

A trade catalogue issued in 1875 by Boyden, Malloy & Co. of New York, presenting hat styles for retail buyers and dealers. The pictures are black-and-white wood-engraved views of top hats and related silk-style hats, shown in side profile with ribbed crowns, banded brims and sharp contour lines. A designer could take their dense horizontal hatching and crisp outline work as a model for shading headwear and fashion silhouettes in period-style graphics.
