EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Costumes de Différent Pays, 'Paysan des Environs de Limoge'" by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, dates back to the late 18th century, specifically around 1797. The image showcases an agricultural laborer from the Limoges region in Haute-Vienne, France. The meticulously detailed engraving and hand-tinted colors bring the rural scene to life, transporting us back in time. The farmer is depicted in full length, wearing a simple yet practical outfit typical of the era. He dons a high-waisted, dark-colored jacket, a white shirt, and a red waistcoat. His trousers are held up by a garter, and he wears a wide-brimmed hat to shield himself from the sun. On his feet, he sports traditional clogs with intricately designed patterns. Accompanying the farmer is a variety of agricultural tools and equipment. He carries a knapsack on his back, a flask at his side, and a carrageen boot on his left foot. The presence of these items highlights the importance of agriculture in the daily life of rural communities during this period. This engraving is an invaluable piece of ethnographic and anthropological significance, providing insights into the clothing, customs, and agricultural practices of European rural communities during the 18th century. It is a testament to the rich heritage of art and history, and a reminder of the deep connection between people and the land.
