A LESSON IN HAT MANIPULATION
THE art of making a number of shapes of hats out of the brim of a felt hat dates back to the year 1750. Tabarin, a French comedian, it is recorded in a book of that date, performed the feat of making some ten different hats , giving appropriate facial portraits beneath each, and using wigs and beards and the usual actor's make ups in order to emphasize the various characters.
