EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Femme de l'Isle de Norton' (c1797) by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur is an intriguing and captivating work of art that offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century ethnography and anthropology. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, part of the Costumes de Differents Pays series, depicts a woman from Norton Island, located in Maine, United States, in North America. The image captures the essence of motherhood and childcare in this specific cultural context. The woman is shown carrying her baby on her back, using a traditional basket as a carrier. She is dressed in the colorful and distinctive clothing of her people, adding to the richness and depth of the scene. The exterior setting further emphasizes the connection between the woman and her natural surroundings. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist, created this work during the late 1700s, making it an invaluable historical document. The meticulous attention to detail in the hand-tinting process adds a layer of depth and authenticity to the image. This full-length portrait is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of fashion, clothing, and the cultural diversity of the past. The Costumes de Différents Pays series, including 'Femme de l'Isle de Norton,' offers a unique perspective on the world of the 18th century, shedding light on the lives and traditions of people from various countries and regions.
