EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costume of Granville," showcases a woman in her finest attire, surrounded by the natural beauty of a park near the port. The image is taken from Louis-Marie Lantes' "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published between 1827 and 1885. The region of Caux and Normandy was renowned for the elegance and style of its women, and this illustration offers a glimpse into their fashionable world. The woman in the illustration wears an intricately designed dress, adorned with delicate floral patterns and a fitted bodice. Her tall Alsatian lace hat, a distinctive feature of the women from this region, crowns her head, adding an air of sophistication and refinement. The hat, with its elaborate lace trim and veil, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the local lace-makers. The park setting, with its lush greenery and picturesque landscape, provides a beautiful backdrop to the woman's finery. The port, with its boats and ships, hints at the maritime heritage of the region. The illustration, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the women of Caux and Normandy during this period. Louis-Marie Lantes' "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux" is a valuable historical record of the fashion and social customs of the region, and this illustration is a testament to the elegance and style of the women who lived there. The tall Alsatian lace hats, with their timeless beauty, continue to be a symbol of the region's rich cultural heritage.
