EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Tradeswoman of Lisieux," showcases the elegant and stylish attire of women from the Pays de Caux and Normandy region of France during the late 19th century. The tradeswoman in the image wears a traditional serre-tête, a tall hat with a narrow brim that is fixed in place with a double ribbon. The serre-tête was a distinctive feature of the regional costume and was often adorned with Alsatian lace, adding an intricate and ornate touch. The tradeswoman's outfit consists of a high-waisted, full-skirted dress with a fitted bodice and puffed sleeves, accessorized with a shawl draped over her shoulders. Her shoes are adorned with bows and rosettes, adding a feminine touch to her practical footwear. The attention to detail in the illustration is remarkable, with the intricate lacework on her hat and the delicate folds of her skirt and sleeves. The women of Caux and Normandy were renowned for their elegant and stylish attire, which reflected their pride in their regional identity. The tall Alsatian lace hats were a symbol of this elegance and style, and were often worn by women of all social classes. This fashion plate illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural traditions of the time, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the Pays de Caux and Normandy region.
