EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Femme de l'Isle de Candie' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (c1797) is an engraved and hand-tinted print showcasing the traditional attire of a woman from the Island of Crete, Greece. Dressed in vibrant colors, the woman wears a long, full-length dress with tight sleeves and a high neckline, adorned with intricate patterns. She accessorizes with a green hat and orange scarves, one draped around her shoulders and the other held in her hand. The exterior setting, possibly in Europe, adds to the ethnographic and anthropological significance of the image. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist and ethnologist, created this print as part of his series 'Costumes de Differents Pays,' which documented the clothing styles of various continents. This particular print, 'Femme de l'Isle de Candie,' offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Greece during the late 18th century. The hand-colored engraving on paper has been preserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), making it an essential addition to the museum's historic collection. The woman's attire, with its distinct colors and patterns, stands out against the muted background, emphasizing the importance of clothing as a means of expressing identity and cultural connections. This image continues to fascinate scholars, artists, and fashion enthusiasts alike, offering a window into the past and the diverse world of 18th-century apparel.
