EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays' or 'Costumes of Different Countries,' is a stunning creation by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur from the late 18th century. The image features a Maori warrior from New Zealand, depicted in his traditional attire. The warrior is shown standing barefoot on a rocky exterior, with a backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills. His body is adorned with intricate facial paint, adding an air of mystery and otherworldliness to his appearance. The warrior wears a cloak made of feathers and animal skins, draped over his broad shoulders. His torso is bare, revealing the strong lines and definition of his muscular physique. His hands are clenched at his sides, and his intense gaze is fixed on something in the distance, adding a sense of determination and focus to his demeanor. This hand-tinted engraving on paper is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of New Zealand and the indigenous Maori people. It is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the clothing and customs of a time long past. The print was published in France during the 1790s, reflecting the growing interest in ethnography and ethnology during the Enlightenment period. Today, this beautiful work of art can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse and fascinating world of human history and culture.
