EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costume of Cherbourg," showcases the traditional attire of women from the Caux and Normandy regions in the late 19th century. The central focus of the image is the elegant bonnet, adorned with short papillon wings, reminiscent of butterfly wings. The bonnet sits atop a chignon, a classic hairstyle of the time, and is paired with a striped petticoat and an apron. The intricate Alsatian lace trim on the hat adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to the ensemble. The women of Caux and Normandy were renowned for their fashion sense, with their tall hats being a symbol of their unique cultural identity. This fashion plate, taken from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published in 1827/1885, provides a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of women's fashion in these regions. The engraved and handcolored plate captures the essence of the period with its intricate details and vibrant colors, making it a valuable historical artifact and a testament to the enduring allure of fashion from the past.
