EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux" by Louis-Marie Lantes, showcases the elegant and stylish attire of women from Rouen, in the region of Caux and Normandy, during the late 19th century. The woman in the image wears a simple yet refined ensemble, consisting of a small, plain bavolet, a white dress adorned with a shawl, and a belt. The bavolet, a traditional headpiece, is a small, flat cap with a narrow brim, adding a touch of sophistication to her appearance. The woman's tall Alsatian lace hat, a symbol of the region's unique and intricate lace-making tradition, crowns her head. The lace hats of Caux and Normandy were renowned for their elegance and style, and were often worn with formal attire. The shawl, draped artfully around her shoulders, adds an air of grace and modesty to her outfit. The illustration, published between 1827 and 1885, captures the essence of the region's fashion during this period. The intricate details of the woman's clothing, from the delicate lace on her hat to the subtle folds of her dress, are beautifully rendered in handcolor. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless beauty and elegance of the women of Rouen and their distinctive fashion. The illustration is part of the extensive collection of fashion plates from Louis-Marie Lantes, a renowned French illustrator and costume designer. His work provides a valuable record of the fashion trends and styles of the time, offering a fascinating insight into the history of fashion and the cultural traditions of the past.
