EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Nabab de la Côte du Coromandel' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse (c1797) is an exquisite eighteenth-century hand-tinted engraving that offers a captivating glimpse into the rich and diverse world of Indian fashion. The full-length image depicts a Nabob, or high-ranking official, from the Coromandel Coast in present-day Andhra Pradesh, India. He is depicted in a cross-legged position, reclining on a colorful cushion, surrounded by the trappings of leisure. The Nabob's attire is a stunning display of Indian fashion, with a bright red coat adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a long, flowing white robe. He wears a turban, adorned with precious stones and a feather, and holds a hookah pipe, or huqqa, in his hand. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in the engraving adds to the exotic allure of the image, transporting the viewer to another time and place. This engraving is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India during the 18th century, a time when the country was a major trading hub for European powers. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical fashion, anthropology, or ethnography, and is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural traditions of the world. The engraving, which is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a masterpiece of 18th-century French art, created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. It is a rare and beautiful example of the cross-cultural exchange that took place during this period, and a reminder of the enduring influence of Indian culture on the world.
