This stunning handcolored fashion plate illustration, titled "Costume of Coutances. View of the Bonnet with Horizontal Papillon Wings," is an exquisite representation of the elegant and fashionable headwear worn by women in the region of Caux and Normandy during the late 19th century. The illustration is taken from the comprehensive work "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux" by Louis-Marie Lante, published between 1827 and 1885. The bonnet depicted in the illustration features a unique design with horizontal wings, reminiscent of butterfly wings, which add an air of elegance and grace to the overall appearance. The papillon wings are intricately adorned with lace, a traditional element of Alsatian and Norman fashion.

This illustration provides a glimpse into the rich history of fashion in Caux and Normandy, showcasing the intricate details and attention to craftsmanship that went into creating these beautiful and timeless pieces.
