EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Woman of Polet, Dieppe, dressed for a festival," showcases the elegant and stylish attire of women from the Caux and Normandy regions during the late 19th century. The young woman in the image dons a tall Alsatian lace bonnet, a symbol of the region's distinctive fashion. The bonnet, adorned with intricate lace designs, adds an air of sophistication and grace to her appearance. Beneath the bonnet, she wears a silk casquin, a fitted bodice with long sleeves, and a voluminous skirt that falls gracefully to the ground. She accessorizes her outfit with mittens and multiple bracelets, adding a touch of playfulness and charm to her ensemble. The woman's outfit is further enhanced by the use of various textiles, including granville tails, chiffon, and a shawl. The granville tails, a type of lace edging, can be seen on the cuffs of her sleeves and the hem of her skirt. The chiffon fabric adds a delicate and flowing quality to her attire, while the shawl provides a cozy layer of warmth and comfort. This beautiful fashion plate illustration is from the collection of Louis-Marie Lante, a renowned French artist and costume designer. The illustration, engraved and handcolored, is a testament to the elegance and style of the women of Caux and Normandy during this time period. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the image to life, transporting us back in time to experience the beauty and charm of this historical era.
