EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Young woman of Bayeux," showcases an elegant and stylish dress worn by women from the Caux and Normandy regions during the late 19th century. The dress, which is much shorter in the back than in the front, was a distinctive feature of the fashion trends in these regions. The bodice, intricately designed and adorned with intricate patterns, is accentuated by the contrast between the shorter back and longer front. The illustration is taken from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published in 1827 and later reissued in 1885. Lante was a renowned French engraver and illustrator, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of historical fashion. The young woman in the illustration is depicted wearing a tall Alsatian lace hat or bonnet, which was another hallmark of the fashion of the time in Caux and Normandy. The hats, made of fine lace and adorned with ribbons and flowers, were a symbol of the region's elegance and refinement. The illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the historical fashion trends of the time and offers a window into the lives of the women of Caux and Normandy during the late 19th century. The intricate details of the dress, the tall lace hats, and the overall elegance of the illustration make it a beautiful and captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue fashion enthusiasts and historians alike.
