I know the book very well. IMHO, you would be better served by using a more modern bit of research. Harmand's book is c1928. It's chief value is the prolific references to all those wonderful illuminations in the BNF and the quotations from Jeanne d'Arc trial. May I suggest you look thru the

Re: [h-cost] Silver Fox Fur Repair

If the fur is going to be a lost cause in the end this is what I would try: purchase some very thin pigskin (dress glove weight) and glue it to the hide side of the fox. Use a flexible leather glue. I'm sure that is not the way a conservator would do it, but if you want it to be sturdy enough

I will agree with Ms. Barnes. I just got a cool book Victorian hairstyles: An illustrated History of Hairstyles 1830- 1930. By Marian I. Doyle. They show several pictures of people with the new brow band in 1915. Here is a link to Theda Bara who wore a lot of headbands in her movies
