Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Amazone d'Afrique' (1797) is a captivating and historically significant engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length portrait depicts an Amazonian woman from Africa, dressed in traditional attire, standing confidently outdoors. The intricate detail and hand-tinted colors bring the image to life, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the continent. The Amazonian woman is adorned with a vibrant, patterned dress that covers her torso and extends to the ground. She wears a tall, conical headdress, adorned with feathers and beads, and her arms are adorned with bracelets. In her hands, she holds a bow and quiver of arrows, a symbol of her warrior status. Her feet are protected by high, carriage boots, adding to the practicality of her attire. This image is part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, which was published in France during the late 18th century. The series aimed to document and preserve the traditional clothing and customs of various peoples from around the world. The 'Amazone d'Afrique' image is a testament to the ethnographic and ethnological interest in the study of different cultures during this period. Today, this precious piece of history is housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of Africa and the world.
