EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux" and dating back to 1827/1885, showcases the elegant and distinctive attire of the women from Caux, a region in Normandy, France. The image features a woman proudly wearing a tall, ornate bonnet adorned with long lace tails, secured with a large, decorative pin. The bonnet sits atop a chignon hairstyle, a common choice among women in the area. The bonnet itself is a testament to the region's rich history and craftsmanship. The tall Alsatian lace hats of Caux and Normandy were renowned for their elegance and style, with intricate gold or silver embroidery adding an air of sophistication. The long lace tails, known as "queues de lace," were a distinctive feature of the headwear and were often worn in pairs, draped down the back or over the shoulders. The woman in the illustration wears her hair in a chignon, a classic updo that was popular during this time period. The intricately designed hairpiece adds an additional layer of detail to her already striking appearance. The fashion plate, engraved by Louis-Marie Lante and published by G. Gatine, provides a glimpse into the fashionable world of the women of Caux during the 19th century. This image is a beautiful reminder of the region's rich history and the unique traditions that once defined it.
