EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costume of St. Valery en Caux," showcases the elegant attire of women from the region of Caux and Normandy during the late 19th century. The focal point of the ensemble is the exquisite blue silk and black velvet bonnet, adorned with intricate Alsatian lace. The tall, conical hat was a symbol of the refined fashion sense of the women from this area, and its elegance and style were renowned throughout France. The bonnet is paired with a simple white blouse, a blue petticoat, and a black skirt. The shoes are of a classic design, with a low heel and a closed toe. The tablecloth and towels, also featured in the illustration, are adorned with the same blue and white stripes that can be found in the towels worn around the women's waists. The beach setting of the illustration adds to the overall charm of the image. The women are depicted relaxing on the sand, enjoying the sun and the sea breeze. The natural beauty of the surroundings is a perfect complement to the elegant and refined fashion of the women. This illustration is from the collection "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux" by Louis-Marie Lante, published in 1827/1885. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the handcoloring make this a truly captivating and authentic representation of the fashion and lifestyle of the women from Caux and Normandy during this period.
