EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking full-length engraving, titled 'Guerrier du Senegal' (Warrior of Senegal), is a captivating image from Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse's seminal work, 'Costumes de Differents Pays' (Costumes of Different Countries), published in France around 1797. The eighteenth-century anthropological study showcases the diverse costumes and customs of various peoples from around the world, including Africa. In this evocative portrait, a Senegalese warrior stands proudly outside, his powerful physique clad in traditional attire. He wears an intricately patterned tunic, adorned with fringes and a wide, plumed hat that reaches towards the sky. A quiver of arrows slung over his shoulder and a bow at his side complete the warrior's formidable appearance. The vibrant colors and meticulous detail of the hand-tinted engraving bring the image to life, transporting us to a different time and place. The 'Guerrier du Senegal' is an essential piece of ethnographic and artistic history. It offers a unique glimpse into the lives of indigenous peoples from the African continent during the 18th century, providing valuable insights into their customs, fashion, and cultural heritage. Today, this historic artwork is preserved and celebrated at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich diversity of human expression and history.
