This exquisite handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux" by Louis-Marie Lantes, showcases a young woman from Le Havre, a city in Normandy, France, donning a striking bonnet that embodies the elegance and style synonymous with the region. The bonnet, with its tall, conical shape that rises to a point, is decorated with intricate lace only up to her ears. This distinctive design, known as Alsation lace, was a hallmark of the women in Caux and Normandy, making them famous for their unique and sophisticated fashion sense. The young woman's outfit, with its elegant lines and refined details, further accentuates the timeless beauty of this 19th-century fashion plate. The illustration, originally published between 1827 and 1885, is a testament to the enduring allure of traditional French fashion and the artistry of Louis-Marie Lantes.
