EDITORS COMMENTS
"Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Bains Publics à l’Usage des Femmes Turque' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (c1797) is an intriguing and captivating work of art that offers a glimpse into the world of traditional Turkish bath customs during the late 18th century. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, published in France as part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, showcases four women and a child in their colorful attire, gathered around a large basin for a communal bathing experience. The scene takes place indoors, in what appears to be a spa or hammam, with an attendant standing nearby. The women wear traditional Turkish dresses, characterized by their voluminous skirts and long, sleeveless tunics, often adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The child, dressed in a simpler outfit, seems to be enjoying the company of the women. The women's dresses are a stunning display of the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East. The striped patterns, often seen in Turkish textiles, add a dynamic element to the piece. The hand-coloring and tinting bring the image to life, making it a fascinating addition to any collection of ethnographic or historical art. This work is a testament to the importance of understanding and appreciating the diverse cultural practices and traditions of different countries. It is a reminder of the value of preserving and documenting the past, as well as the beauty and complexity of the world around us." The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful piece in its collection, allowing us to explore and learn from the past. This image is not only a work of art but also a valuable historical and anthropological resource, providing insight into the daily lives and customs of people from different parts of the world during a time when travel and communication were limited.
