EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured fashion plate, titled "Costume of Saint Lo," is an exquisite example of French fashion from the early 19th century. The illustration was created by Pecheux and beautifully engraved by Gatine for the publication "105 Costumes of the Departments along the Seine" by Louis-Marie Lantes, published by Durand Aine in Paris in 1827. The image showcases a fashionable woman of the time, dressed in the traditional costume of Saint Lo, a historic town located in the Normandy region of France. The costume consists of a high-waisted, full-skirted dress made of a rich, textured fabric, likely wool or velvet, with a fitted bodice adorned with intricate embroidery and lace detailing. The sleeves are long and puffed, with delicate lace cuffs. A matching shawl is draped over her shoulders, adding an extra layer of warmth and elegance to the outfit. The woman's hair is styled in a classic 1820s updo, with curls framing her face and a large, ornate hat perched atop her head. The hat features a wide brim, adorned with ribbons and flowers, and a tall, decorative crown. This fashion plate is a valuable historical record of the fashion trends and cultural traditions of the time, providing insight into the lives and styles of women in France during the early 1800s. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcolouring bring the image to life, making it a beautiful and intriguing addition to any collection of historical fashion or art.
