EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Woman in Costume of Lisieux," showcases the traditional attire of women from the Caux and Normandy regions of France during the late 19th century. The elegant woman in the image wears a simple yet striking cotton bonnet, adorned with a delicate ribbon that adds a touch of refinement to her outfit. The tall Alsatian lace hat, or gâteau, was a symbol of the region's rich textile heritage and was renowned for its intricate designs and elegance. The woman's ensemble also includes a linen blouse and a full, voluminous cotton skirt, which were commonly worn by women in rural areas during this time. The laundry, hanging on the riverbank in the background, underscores the importance of textile production and the role it played in the daily lives of these women. This illustration is taken from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published between 1827 and 1885. Lante was a renowned French engraver and illustrator who documented the traditional costumes of various regions in France. His meticulously detailed illustrations provide a valuable record of the fashion and cultural traditions of the past. The image offers a glimpse into the history and heritage of the Caux and Normandy regions, showcasing the simple yet elegant beauty of the traditional costumes worn by the women during this period. The use of handcoloring adds an extra layer of detail and vibrancy to the illustration, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical fashion plates or decorative art.
