1907

A far as I know this design first appears as 'Bonete' (Cap) in an article titled 'El trabajo manual escolar' by Vicente Casto Legua in the January 1907 issue of the Spanish magazine 'La Escuela Moderna' which was published in Madrid by Los Sucesores de Hernando. I am not convinced that this hat is actually wearable.
