Bouquet-maker at the Plaza in Front of Rouen Cathedral: A Snapshot of Chic Fashion in 19th Century Normandy This exquisitely handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Bouquet-maker at the Plaza in Front of Rouen," offers a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of women in Normandy during the 19th century. The image, taken from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published between 1827 and 1885, showcases the elegance and sophistication of a local bouquet-maker as she goes about her business at the plaza in front of the iconic Rouen Cathedral. Dressed in a traditional shawl and a capuchon, the bouquet-maker wears an Alsatian lace hat, a symbol of the region's rich textile heritage. Her tall, intricately designed hat, adorned with delicate chicory lace, adds a touch of refinement to her simple yet chic outfit. The capuchon, a hooded cape, protects her from the elements and completes her ensemble. The decorative elements of her bouquet, with its vibrant colors and lush flowers, add a pop of beauty and allure to the scene. The handcolored plate, with its intricate details and meticulous shading, brings the image to life, transporting us back in time to the bustling plaza in front of the Rouen Cathedral. The women of Caux and Normandy were renowned for their impeccable sense of style and fashion, and this illustration offers a testament to their chic sensibilities. The Alsatian lace hats, with their tall, conical shapes and intricate designs, were a hallmark of the region's textile industry and a source of pride for the women who wore them. The fashion plate not only showcases the elegance of the bouquet-maker but also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and history of Normandy.
