EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays," or "Costumes of Different Countries," is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur depicting a female figure from the Wotyak people, an Eastern European ethnic group residing in the Udmurt region of Russia. The print, created in the late 18th century, is a stunning example of ethnographic art and a valuable contribution to the study of anthropology and ethnology. The woman in the print is dressed in traditional Wotyak attire, which includes a long, full-length dress adorned with intricate geometric patterns in shades of purple. Her headdress, or head dress, is equally impressive, featuring a tall, conical structure adorned with various decorative elements. The sleeves of her dress are wide and voluminous, adding to the overall grandeur of the ensemble. The print, which is hand-tinted and hand-colored on paper, was published in France during the 1790s and is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Wotyak people and serves as an important reminder of the diversity of traditional costumes and dress from around the world during the 18th century. The exterior setting of the print, with the figure standing alone against a plain background, emphasizes the beauty and uniqueness of the costume and the woman wearing it. The print is a valuable resource for scholars and students of fashion, anthropology, and ethnology, providing insights into the clothing and cultural practices of a specific ethnic group during a significant historical period. Overall, Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's "Costumes de Différents Pays: Femme Wotyake" is a captivating and visually stunning representation of the diversity and richness of traditional costumes and dress from around the world during the 18th century. The print continues to inspire and inform scholars and enthusiasts of history, art, and culture today.
