EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Costumes of Different Countries," is a remarkable collection of engravings and hand-tinted prints created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse in the late 18th century. This specific print, titled "Femme Finnoise," or "Finnish Woman," showcases the traditional attire of Finland during that era. The image captures a full-length portrait of a Finnish woman, standing outdoors with a hand on her hip and looking away from the viewer. She wears a long, red dress adorned with intricate needlework and embroidery. The dress is cinched at the waist with a wide, white apron, which adds to the overall rustic charm of the image. Her head is adorned with a colorful headdress, which is typical of Finnish folk traditions. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Finland during the 18th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving and hand-tinting techniques used by Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and Labrousse brings the image to life, transporting us back in time to a world of simple pleasures and traditional clothing. This print is an important piece of ethnographic and historical significance, providing valuable insights into the clothing and fashion trends of the time. It is a must-see for anyone interested in anthropology, apparel, or the history of Europe during the 18th century. The print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse and fascinating world of historic costumes. The print is a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and it remains an enduring symbol of the cultural heritage of Finland and Europe as a whole. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and authentic posture of the woman in the image make it a truly captivating and timeless work of art.
