EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différent Pays: 'Bourgeoise de Strasbourg/ Laitiere des Environs de Strasbourg' (1797) is a captivating and intriguing work of art by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This engraving, hand-tinted on paper, takes us back to the 18th century, specifically the 1790s, and invites us to explore the diverse clothing traditions of Europe. The image features two women from the same region of Strasbourg, France. The first woman, dressed in the bourgeoisie style, wears a voluminous, high-waisted dress with a fitted bodice and a long, flowing cloak. Her elaborate hairstyle, adorned with ribbons and feathers, adds to her elegant appearance. In contrast, the milkmaid, dressed in simple, practical clothing, carries a large pail on her head, balancing it with ease. Her outfit consists of a long, full skirt, a blouse, and a simple apron. The contrast between the two women highlights the balance between the middle and working classes during this period. The bourgeoise, representing the urban, middle class, is dressed in the latest fashion, while the milkmaid, representing the rural, working class, is dressed in simple, functional clothing. The image also showcases the rich colors and textures of the clothing, adding to the overall visual appeal. This work of art, titled 'Costumes de Différent Pays' or 'Costumes of Different Countries,' is a testament to the ethnographic and anthropological interests of the time. It provides a glimpse into the clothing traditions of different regions and social classes, offering a unique perspective on European history and culture. Today, this precious piece is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
