EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costume of Bayeux: Falling Tails from the Bonnet and False Sleeves in Contrasting Colour," is an exquisite example of the elegant attire worn by women in Caux and Normandy during the late 19th century. The illustration is taken from Louis-Marie Lante's renowned work, "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published in 1827 and later reissued in 1885. The image showcases a servant woman adorned in the traditional costume of the region. At the heart of her ensemble is the tall Alsatian lace hat, a symbol of the refined taste and style that was synonymous with the women of Caux and Normandy. The hat, also known as a bonnet, boasts an intricate lace design and a striking falling tail that cascades down the back, adding a graceful touch to the overall appearance. The woman's dress features false sleeves in a contrasting color, which adds visual interest and balance to the outfit. The bodice is adorned with delicate embroidery, while the skirt is full and voluminous, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. This beautifully preserved illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and style of a bygone era. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
