A turn-of-the-century trade catalogue from the prestigious Paris hatmakers Delion. Delion was established in 1847 and supplied top hats and other headwear to the well-dressed Parisian gentleman. In 1903 they had premises in Boulevard des Capucines and Passage Jouffroy. The current catalogue details and illustrates top hats, bowlers, the 'Pneumatic', the 'Globe-Trotter', driving caps, panamas, boaters, and a tricorne. Driving macs, gabardines, canes and umbrellas are also included. Caricatures of 'Figures Contemporaines' (Camille Pelletan, Boni de Castellane) are interspersed within the listings.
