This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Woman of Fecamp," showcases the elegant and stylish tradition of the women from the Pays de Caux and Normandy region in France during the late 19th century. The woman in the image wears a serre-tete, a decorative headpiece that covers only the temples, similar to the popular serre-tetes of Le Havre. In the background, the hillside church of Notre-Dame-du-Salut stands proudly, adding to the picturesque setting. The tall Alsatian lace hats worn by the women of this region were renowned for their sophistication and intricate designs. This fashion plate, taken from Louis-Marie Lantes' "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published between 1827 and 1885, offers a glimpse into the refined taste and beauty of the women's attire during this era. The intricate details of the woman's dress, from the lace collar to the delicate embroidery, highlight the skill and artistry of the time. The serene and graceful pose of the woman in the illustration adds to the overall charm and allure of this image. The use of vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail in the handcoloring process further enhances the beauty and authenticity of this historical fashion plate. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and enduring elegance of the women of Normandy and the Pays de Caux during the 19th century.
