EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays, Derviches Fesant la Prierie' (Costumes of Different Countries, Dervishes Performing the Prierie), was created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur in the late 18th century, around 1797. The image depicts a group of men dressed in traditional Islamic attire, identified as Dervishes, engaged in a prayer ritual or dance called the Prierie. The vibrant and intricately detailed hand-tinted engraving on paper showcases the rich colors and textures of the Asian continent's clothing and customs. The Dervishes are depicted in various stages of the dance, with some in deep prayer, others in mid-movement, and some playing musical instruments. Their distinctive hats, long robes, and flowing garments are adorned with intricate patterns and geometric designs, reflecting the unique artistic traditions of the region. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century, and offers a glimpse into the customs and traditions of a far-off land. The exterior setting, with the men standing in a natural environment, adds to the sense of authenticity and historical accuracy. The work is a significant contribution to the fields of anthropology, ethnography, and ethnology, offering valuable insights into the clothing, customs, and religious practices of a specific cultural group. It is a rare and beautiful example of the art of engraving during the 18th century, and a valuable addition to any collection focused on world history, fashion, or the arts." This stunning work of art is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of costume, religion, or the arts. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diversity of human expression.
