EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Montagnard du Mexique' (1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, showcasing the traditional attire of a Montagnard (mountaineer) from Mexico. This image, created during the late 18th century, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Central America and the intricate details of its indigenous populations. The Montagnard is depicted in full length, wearing a colorful costume that reflects his connection to the land and his people. He dons a long, striped cape made of coarse fabric, which covers his shoulders and falls to his feet. The cape is adorned with intricate patterns and fringes, adding to its visual appeal. The Montagnard also wears a wide-brimmed hat, which is typically worn by the indigenous peoples of Mexico to protect themselves from the sun. His footwear consists of carriage boots, which are high and laced up to his knees. These boots are an essential part of the Montagnard's attire, providing both warmth and protection against the rugged terrain. The Montagnard's clothing is a reflection of his practical and functional needs, as well as his cultural identity. This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays' (Costumes of Different Countries), is a significant contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology. It provides a glimpse into the diverse range of clothing styles and traditions that existed during the late 18th century, and serves as an important historical record of the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The engraving, which is housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a stunning example of the artistry and craftsmanship of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. The hand-tinted engraving on paper adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the Montagnard and his costume to life in a way that transcends time and place.
