Fashions for September, 1845. 'Straw bonnets for country residence, for the sea-side, and watering-places, are universally worn, as best adapted to such purposes. They are frequently...trimmed with black velvet ribbon, crossed simply over the crown, with a bow behind, and often edged with three narrow rows of the same ribbon'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
