EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Tradeswoman of Lisieux, exuding elegance and style in her traditional attire. The woman wears a serre-tete fixed with a double ribbon, reminiscent of the women of Paris at night. Known as a "grisette," she is a working class woman involved in the clothes trade, but also carries the connotation of being a floozy. The hand-colored fashion plate illustration by Lante engraved by Gatine from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux" showcases the beauty and sophistication of women from Caux and Normandy. With their tall Alsation lace hats, these women were renowned for their grace and fashion sense. The intricate details in this image, from the delicate lace veil to the stylish umbrella held by the tradeswoman, transport us back to 19th century France. The combination of colors and textures brings this historical figure to life, allowing us to appreciate her unique sense of style. This print is not just a representation of fashion; it is a glimpse into the lives and culture of working class women during that time period. It serves as a reminder of their resilience and creativity in making even everyday attire an expression of artistry.
