This exquisite handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Woman of Caux in a White Dress with Tall Bonnet and Lace Tails at a Harvest Festival in an Orchard," is an enchanting glimpse into the fashion and traditions of the women in the Pays de Caux and Normandy regions of France during the late 19th century. The elegant woman in the image is depicted wearing a long, white dress with a tall, Alsatian lace hat adorned with intricate lace tails. The hat, a symbol of the region's distinctive style, adds an air of sophistication and grace to her harvest festival attire. The scene takes place in an orchard, surrounded by the rich colors and textures of autumn. The woman's dress is adorned with delicate floral patterns, adding to the overall sense of beauty and harmony. The tall, white bonnet, with its lace tails cascading down the back, is a testament to the region's reputation for producing some of the most elegant and stylish women in France.
