EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Little girls of Rouen," showcases a delightful scene of children dressed in tall bonnets, reminiscent of their mothers, as they prepare for a festive occasion in Rouen, France during the late 19th century. The image, taken from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published around 1885, highlights the unique and elegant Alsatian lace hats, or "chapeaux Alsaciens," that were a distinctive feature of the women's attire in the Caux and Normandy regions. The tall, conical hats, adorned with intricate lace designs, were a symbol of the region's rich history and tradition. The children, dressed in their best, proudly wear the same hats, reflecting the influence of their mothers and the cultural significance of this headpiece. The girls, with rosy cheeks and bright, curious expressions, hold apples in their hands, adding a playful and charming touch to the image. The intricately detailed illustration, with its vibrant colors and elegant lines, provides a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the time. The hand-colored technique adds depth and richness to the image, making it a beautiful and captivating work of art. This illustration not only showcases the fashion trends of the time but also highlights the close bond between mothers and their daughters, as they share in the traditions and beauty of their community.
