EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux" and published by Louis-Marie Lantes in 1827-1885, showcases the elegant and stylish attire of young women from Bayeux and the surrounding regions of Caux and Normandy. The illustration captures the essence of French fashion during this period, with the young woman adorned in an intricately designed gown, accessorized with a tall Alsatian lace hat that was synonymous with the region's distinctive style. The Alsatian lace hats, or "chapeaux d'Alsace," were a symbol of wealth and status in 19th century France. These hats were often made from the finest lace and adorned with delicate floral motifs, ribbons, and feathers. The tall, conical shape of the hats accentuated the elegance of the wearer's neck and shoulders, making them a popular choice among the fashionable elite. The young woman in this illustration wears her hat at a jaunty angle, adding a playful touch to her refined appearance. Her gown, with its fitted bodice and full, voluminous skirt, is adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate embroidery. The overall effect is one of grace and sophistication, reflecting the high standards of fashion and style that were prized in 19th century France. The illustration is a testament to the enduring influence of French fashion during this period, and serves as a reminder of the elegance and style that defined the women of Bayeux and the surrounding regions of Caux and Normandy.
