EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Habitants de la Carie' (Costumes of Different Countries, 'Inhabitants of Caria') is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, created around 1797. This image is a testament to the rich cultural diversity of Anatolia, a region in Asia Minor, during the 18th century. The print showcases a group of men from the Carian region, dressed in their traditional attire. In the foreground, a man wears a long, flowing robe with wide, harem pants, held up by a sash. He dons a tall, conical hat, adorned with intricate patterns and a tassel. His hands are tucked into the folds of his robe, and he carries a powder flask and a powder keg, suggesting his affiliation with the armed forces. Behind him, another man is shown from the back, wearing a short, fitted jacket, with wide, bell-bottom trousers and a sash. He holds a gun in one hand and a powder flask in the other, indicating his military role. Both men are depicted in full length, providing a detailed view of their clothing and accessories. The print is hand-colored, adding vibrant hues to the already intricate details of the engraving. The exterior setting, with trees and foliage in the background, further emphasizes the connection to the natural world and the region's unique character. This historic print, by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, is a valuable contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology, offering a glimpse into the lives and appearances of people from a specific time and place. Today, it is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich heritage of global art and history.
