Collection MHS (Unaccessioned) Textiles
Date c.1870
Description Bonnet of black straw on milliners muslin trimmed with satin/silk ribbon, ostrich feathers, elaborately twined tape tied to a velvet wired ribbon by sequins and two white stylized orange blossom flowers, c.1870/80. A note says from Smith Family who lived at Tua Marina. Mr. Frank Smith married Miss Botham so this could have come from the Botham Family.

Part of Ethel Collins collection. Some of the clothing collection attributed to Mrs. Ethel Collins was gathered before she became a member of MHS. Later, as volunteer in charge of the Textile Department, garments were donated to her for the Society [see MHS minute book 5, page 211]. These garments joined her own donated collection and all became part of the MHS Textile Collection.
