EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Groenlandaise,' c1797 is an exquisite and intriguing hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This work of art, created in the late 18th century, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of anthropology, apparel, and ethnography. The image depicts a Greenlander woman, dressed in traditional attire, cradling her baby on the back of a canoe. The woman's costume is a stunning display of vibrant colors and patterns, reflecting the unique customs of the Greenlandic people. The direct gaze of the woman and the infant as they look at the viewer adds an intimate and engaging quality to the image. The scene is set against an exterior backdrop, with the rugged landscape of Greenland providing a beautiful contrast to the softness of the mother and child. The woman's strong and capable demeanor as she navigates the canoe, while caring for her infant, speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Greenlandic people. This full-length engraving, with its hand-colored details, is a remarkable example of the artistic and historical significance of the 18th century. It is a valuable addition to any collection focused on fashion, clothing, or the study of local peoples and their traditions. The Costumes de Différents Pays series, of which this image is a part, was published in France and is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
