This exquisitely handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costume of Cherbourg," showcases the elegant attire of a young woman from the affluent families of Caux and Normandy during the late 19th century. The image, taken from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published between 1827 and 1885, offers a glimpse into the opulent fashion trends of the region. The young woman in the illustration wears a voluminous gown adorned with intricate floral patterns and a high collar, typical of the Victorian era. Her tall Alsatian lace hat, known as a bavolet or gatine, sits atop her head, adding an air of sophistication and grandeur. The hat, which was a signature accessory for women from Caux and Normandy, was renowned for its elegance and intricate lace designs. The old women in the background of the illustration also wear similar hats and gowns, indicating the widespread popularity of this fashion trend among the wealthy classes of the region. The handcolored technique used in the illustration adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a stunning representation of the fashionable women of Cherbourg during this time period. The intricate details of the gowns, hats, and accessories in the illustration offer a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of Caux and Normandy during the 19th century. The elegance and sophistication of the fashion depicted in the "Costume of Cherbourg" illustration serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to influence fashion and design today.
