EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costume of Bois d'Embourg: Tall Bonnet with Lace Tails," is an engraved masterpiece from the esteemed work "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux" by Louis-Marie Lante, published around 1827-1885. The illustration showcases the traditional attire of women from the regions of Caux and Normandy, renowned for their refined elegance and unique style. The central focus of the illustration is the tall, Alsatian lace hat, or bonnet, that dominates the scene. The bonnet boasts intricately designed lace tails that gracefully hang forward, covering the wearer's face with a veil of delicate, hand-embroidered roses and lace. The bonnet's towering height and ornate adornments were a distinctive feature of the regional costume, making the women of Caux and Normandy a subject of fascination during this era. The woman in the illustration is also adorned with a shawl, adding an extra layer of warmth and sophistication to her ensemble. The shawl, like the bonnet, is embellished with intricate lace patterns and rosettes, creating a harmonious blend of textures and colors. The illustration is a testament to the rich history and cultural traditions of the Caux and Normandy regions during the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring techniques add to the overall allure and charm of this fashion plate.
