This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," showcases the traditional attire of a woman from Dieppe, a town in the historical region of Caux and Normandy, France. Dressed for a local festival, she dons an elegant Bavolet bonnet, a tall Alsatian lace headdress that was once a distinctive symbol of the women from this region. The bonnet is adorned with intricate lace designs and a delicate ribbon, adding to its ethereal beauty. The woman's ensemble also includes a silk casaquin, a long, fitted jacket with a high collar, and full sleeves. The casaquin is accessorized with intricately designed mittens and bracelets, adding a touch of sophistication to her look. The simple yet elegant style of her outfit reflects the traditional fashion sense of the women from Caux and Normandy during the late 1800s. This illustration is taken from the work of Louis-Marie Lante, a renowned French artist and costume historian, who meticulously documented the traditional costumes of various regions in France. The illustration is engraved and handcolored, making it a stunning piece of historical art that transports us back in time and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of France. The women of Caux and Normandy were renowned for their elegance and style, and their tall Alsatian lace hats were a source of pride and admiration. This illustration is a testament to their unique fashion sense and the enduring allure of traditional costumes. It is a valuable historical document that continues to inspire and captivate fashion enthusiasts and historians alike.
