EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costume of Pont l'Eveque," showcases the elegant and stylish traditional attire of women from the Pays de Caux and Normandy region during the late 19th century. The central focus of the image is a Bavolet bonnet, a distinctive headpiece adorned with papillon butterfly wings fixed at the temples. The bonnet sits atop a tall Alsatian lace hat, adding an extra layer of refinement to the ensemble. The Bavolet bonnet, named after the village of Bavent in Normandy, was a popular fashion accessory among the women of the region. Its unique design featured a wide, flat brim and a high crown, often decorated with intricate lace and ribbon trim. The addition of the papillon butterfly wings, which were made from feathers or silk, added a playful and whimsical touch to the otherwise formal attire. This illustration is taken from Louis-Marie Lantes' "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published between 1827 and 1885. Lantes was a renowned French artist and costume designer who documented the traditional clothing of various regions in France. His meticulously detailed illustrations provide a valuable record of the fashion trends and cultural traditions of the time. The women of the Pays de Caux and Normandy were famous for their elegant and sophisticated style, which was reflected in their traditional clothing. The tall Alsatian lace hats, intricately decorated with lace and ribbons, were a hallmark of their attire. The addition of the Bavolet bonnet with its papillon butterfly wings added a unique and distinctive touch to their already impressive ensembles. This fashion plate illustration is a beautiful testament to the rich cultural heritage and fashion sensibilities of the women of the Pays de Caux and Normandy during the 19th century.
