The image is taken from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," published between 1827 and 1885. The meticulously engraved and handcolored plate offers a glimpse into the rich history of fashion in Caux and Normandy, showcasing the timeless beauty and allure of the region's unique style.
