EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Femme de l'Isle de Scio' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (c1797) is an intriguing and captivating work of art that offers a glimpse into the diverse and rich cultural heritage of the 18th century. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, published in France, depicts three women in traditional costumes from the Isle of Scio, or Khios, in Greece. The women are shown standing outdoors, engaging in conversation, their vibrant and colorful attire adding a burst of energy to the scene. The woman in the center, dressed in a full-length pinafore with intricate patterns, wears a distinctive hat adorned with a large red bow. To her left, another woman is dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, her head covered by a white scarf. The third woman, on the right, wears a bright yellow dress with a wide belt and a red petticoat, her head adorned with a tall, conical hat. This engraving, part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, is a testament to the ethnographic and anthropological interests of the time. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist and publisher, traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Mediterranean, documenting the diverse clothing styles and traditions of different regions. His work is an important contribution to the fields of ethnography and ethnology, providing valuable insights into the clothing and customs of various European and non-European communities during the 18th century. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work in its collection, a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and fascinate us today.
