Costume of Crosville, near Dieppe.

---

Costume of Crosville, near Dieppe. The folds in the bonnet are accidental, it is too large for her head. Fashion dictates that the frills of the bonnet are brought to frame the face close to the cheeks. She is spinning yarn in the garden. Hand-colored fashion plate illustration by Lante 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.
