This page shows the possible early forms of the French hood or its possible parts, in the evolution of the French hood form seen later. The Cunningtons simply describe such early hoods as a "draped hood", but the beginnings can be seen here.

Please be warned that the images are large in file size, and may take awhile to load. This is to provide better detail, especially for the enlarged close-up images.
