EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Femme de l'Isle de Nootka' (Woman of Nootka Island), c1797, is a captivating and historically significant engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length image, hand-tinted on paper, showcases the traditional attire of a Native woman from Nootka Island, located in the Pacific Northwest of present-day Canada. The woman is depicted in an exterior setting, with a child at her side, both clad in coordinated clothing that reflects their connection to the land and the rich cultural heritage of the region. The 'Femme de l'Isle de Nootka' wears a long, full cape, adorned with intricate geometric patterns, and a wide-brimmed hat, which not only protects her from the elements but also highlights her ethnic identity. Her bare feet, a common practice among indigenous peoples of the region, add to the authenticity of the scene. This engraving, part of the Costumes de Differents Pays series, is a testament to the ethnographic and ethnological interest in the diverse populations of the world during the 18th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the hand-tinted engraving make this artwork a valuable addition to any collection focusing on anthropology, apparel, or the history of art. The 'Femme de l'Isle de Nootka' is an evocative representation of the people and their customs, captured by the skilled hands of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the Pacific Northwest and its indigenous peoples.
