EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Fille Mordwine en Habits de Noces' (1797) by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur is an exquisite and intricately detailed hand-tinted engraving that showcases the traditional bridal attire of the Mordvin people from Mordovia, Russia. This image, created in the late 18th century, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and ethnographic significance of clothing and fashion during this period. The full-length portrait depicts a young woman adorned in the traditional Mordvin bridal costume. She wears a long, embroidered coat with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, accentuated by a hand-embroidered jacket featuring delicate floral motifs. The bride's head is adorned with an elaborate headdress, which is both functional and decorative, and a hand-tinted veil covers her face, adding an air of mystery and allure. The exterior setting of the image further enhances its ethnographic value, as it provides context and a sense of place. The scene is set in the natural surroundings of the Mordvin region, with trees and foliage in the background, emphasizing the connection between the people and their land. This beautiful engraving, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of historic art and ethnographic materials. It not only provides insight into the fashion and clothing practices of the Mordvin people during the late 18th century but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural traditions of the world.
