EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Alcatÿ or Negre Gouverneur des Environs de Gorée' (1797) is a captivating and historically significant engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. This full-length portrait depicts an African man, identified as Alcatÿ or the Governor of the Environs of Gorée, dressed in a striking combination of traditional and European clothing. The image, hand-tinted on paper, was published in Paris during the late 18th century and is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The scene unfolds outdoors, with the man standing confidently before a backdrop of barrels and other colonial accoutrements. He wears a European-style hat and a long, flowing robe adorned with intricate patterns, symbolizing his unique position as a leader in the colonial society. In his hands, he holds a flask, perhaps a symbol of power or authority. This engraving is an essential piece of ethnographic and anthropological documentation from the era of colonialism. It offers a glimpse into the complex interactions between European and indigenous cultures, as well as the fashion trends of the time. The image also highlights the rich heritage of the African continent and the diverse ways in which its people adapted to the influences of European colonialism. The intricate details of the man's clothing and accessories, as well as the realistic depiction of his environment, make this engraving a valuable addition to any collection focused on colonial history, ethnography, or the history of fashion. The image invites us to explore the complexities of the past and the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence our world today.
