EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Marabou et Negre de l'Isle St. Louis dans le Sénégal'" by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse cultures and traditions of Africa, specifically in Senegal. The scene depicts four individuals - two men and two women - dressed in their traditional attire. The Marabout, a Muslim religious leader, is shown wearing a long, flowing robe, a turban, and a beaded necklace. He is in a posture of blessing or benison, with one hand raised in a gesture of blessing. The other man, a Negro from Isle St. Louis, wears a shorter tunic and a large, flowing skirt. He is kneeling before the Marabout, suggesting a respectful demeanor. The women, both dressed in colorful, full-length garments, add to the vibrant and intriguing composition. Their clothing, adorned with intricate patterns and bold colors, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region. The setting of the print is an exterior, with a simple hut in the background, suggesting a rural or village location. The image is hand-colored or hand-tinted, adding depth and detail to the already intricate engraving on paper. This historic print is an essential addition to any collection focusing on anthropology, ethnography, or the history of fashion. It offers a unique perspective on the diverse cultures and traditions of Africa during the 18th century, and provides a window into a world that continues to captivate and inspire us today. This print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), making it accessible to scholars, enthusiasts, and the general public for study and appreciation.
