Woman from Yvetot in mourning wear. The bonnet is not embroidered, and the veil has no lace. This costume is exactly that of Madame D., church treasurer at Yvetot, when her mother died. Hand-colored fashion plate illustration by Benoit Pecheux engraved by Gatine from Louis-Marie Lante's "Costumes des femmes du Pays de Caux," 1827/1885. With their tall Alsation lace hats, the women of Caux and Normandy were famous for the elegance and style.
