EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux" by Louis-Marie Lantes, showcases the elegant and stylish traditional attire of women from Caen and Normandy during the late 1800s. The image features a woman wearing a tall, ornate bonnet adorned with artificial flowers and intricately twisted veils over the crown. The bonnet, a symbol of Alsatian lace craftsmanship, adds an air of sophistication and refinement to the ensemble. The tall, conical hats of Caen and Normandy were renowned for their beauty and elegance, and the women who wore them were celebrated for their unique sense of style. The veils, delicately twisted and arranged over the hat, added an element of mystery and allure to the overall appearance. The handcolored technique used in this illustration brings the intricate details of the costume to life, from the delicate lacework on the bonnet to the rich textures of the fabrics used in the dress and shawl. Louis-Marie Lantes was a renowned French artist and illustrator, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of fashion and style in his work. This particular illustration, published between 1827 and 1885, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating insight into the traditional costumes and customs of the women of Caen and Normandy during this period. The image is a beautiful testament to the rich cultural heritage of this region and the enduring allure of traditional fashion.
