EDITORS COMMENTS
"Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme Finnois' (1797) is an exquisite and intriguing engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, showcasing an agricultural laborer from Finland. This image is a testament to the rich ethnographic and artistic traditions of the late 18th century. The 'Homme Finnois' (Finish Man) is depicted in full length, dressed in traditional attire. He wears a blue coat, gaiters, and a hat adorned with a feather. A coal-filled basket is slung over his shoulder, while an ankle band adorns his leg. The laborer's clothing is hand-tinted, adding depth and vibrancy to the print. The setting of the image is an exterior rural scene, with the farmhand shown in a pastoral environment. The use of natural colors and the attention to detail in the depiction of the man's clothing and accessories suggest an anthropological interest in the diverse costumes and customs of different countries. This print is a significant historical artifact, reflecting the fashion trends and cultural sensibilities of the time. It is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on 18th-century art, ethnography, or the study of agricultural laborers and rural life. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of historical costume and the importance of preserving and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the past." Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse's 'Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme Finnois' (1797) is a stunning work of art that offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the clothing, customs, and daily life of agricultural laborers in Finland during the late 18th century. This engraving is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, ethnography, or the arts.
