The subject here is a magazine advertisement for Lamson & Hubbard, a Boston hat maker, showing men being fitted for hats. The ad sells more than a product. It shows the careful, personal process of choosing a hat that fits, a point the company wanted readers to associate with its name. Printed advertisements like this were a major way hat makers reached buyers across the country, and their illustrations reveal how men of the period were expected to dress and present themselves in public.
