EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Femme Baschkir' (1797) is an exquisite and intriguing engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, showcasing the traditional attire of a Baschkir woman from Russia during the late 18th century. The full-length portrait depicts a solitary figure, dressed in vibrant colors, standing outdoors against a natural backdrop. The woman wears a voluminous, hand-tinted dress adorned with intricate patterns, a hand-held berry bowl, and a striking headdress adorned with berries. This engraving is part of the series 'Costumes de Differents Pays' (Costumes of Different Countries), which was published in France during the 1790s. The series aimed to document and preserve the diverse clothing traditions of various ethnic groups around the world. The 'Femme Baschkir' image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Baschkir people, who inhabit the Ural Mountains between Europe and Asia. The meticulously hand-colored and hand-tinted engraving on paper captures the essence of the Baschkir woman's unique appearance and the connection she has with her natural surroundings. The image has been preserved and is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's extensive collection, providing a valuable resource for scholars, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the history of fashion, ethnicity, and cultural representation. The 'Femme Baschkir' image is a captivating reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the diverse cultural traditions of the world, and the role that art and ethnography play in understanding our shared human heritage.
