Featured A feather in her cap.

Meet Annie Hatfield and her daughter Maud:


I'm impressed by the feather in Maud's hat:

 

Lovely photo. The daughter is very pretty and I'm guessing her mother was quite pretty in her younger days.

Do you have any idea when the photo was taken?

Now for one of my "silly" statements (sorry, I can't resist).

Looks like neither mother Annie nor daughter Maude could resist "hats" being Hatfields.

 

Don't know the date. Best I could guess would be late 19th C?

I do have a photo of Maud alone:

 

Maud is beautiful.

 

Based on the sleeve style in the first photo, I would says 1890s. Feathers (and whole birds) were particularly popular on women's hats during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. "In 1886, ornithologist Frank Chapman observed a remarkable number of bird-adorned hats in New York City. He noted that, among 700 ladies he observed, three-fourths of them wore 40 varieties of native birds, or bird parts."
The feather trade was so intense and destructive that it lead to passage of the Migratory Bird Act in 1918 in an effort to protect the poor birds.
