RE: 'The Mad Hatter'- An Ode to the Hat (photographs insight)
"As mad as a hatter", A popular explanation of the phrase suggests that it was connected to mercury poisoning or Korsakoff's syndrome experienced by hat-makers as a result of the long-term use of mercury products in the hat-making trade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_as_a_hatter
I took some hats to Cuba & gave them to the local band, here's a couple of pics.(The loved them)
Super! Suddenly the band became a Hatter band :)
