EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Gentilhomme de la Côte des Graines' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (c1797) is an intriguing and captivating work of art that offers a glimpse into the diverse world of 18th-century fashion and ethnography. This hand-colored engraving on paper, published in France, depicts a man from the Grain or Pepper Coast of Liberia, West Africa. The man, dressed in traditional attire, is shown in a full-length portrait, standing outside against an unspecified background. The 'Gentilhomme de la Côte des Graines' wears a red cap adorned with a white band and a bow and arrow slung over his shoulder. His body is painted with intricate patterns and designs, indicative of his cultural heritage. The man's clothing, which includes a short tunic and a large, flowing skirt, is also decorated with vibrant colors and geometric patterns. This engraving is a significant contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology, as it offers a visual record of the clothing and appearance of people from different parts of the world during the 18th century. It is also an important historical document, as it provides insight into the cultural exchange that took place between Europe and Africa during this period. The 'Costumes de Différents Pays' series, of which this engraving is a part, was published by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur in the late 18th century. The series consisted of over 100 engravings, each depicting individuals from various countries and continents, and was widely circulated in Europe. Today, this work is held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists across the globe.
