EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de la Foret Noire' (1797) is an intriguing and captivating engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur that offers a glimpse into the diverse clothing traditions of various regions during the late 18th century. This full-length portrait depicts a man from the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, dressed in the traditional attire of his homeland. The man is shown in profile, standing in a field surrounded by lush grass and trees. He wears a brown coat with a fur collar, a garter holding up his stockings, and a pipe clenched between his teeth. The engraving is hand-tinted, adding vibrant colors and depth to the image. The 'Homme de la Foret Noire' is part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, which was published in France during the late 18th century. The series aimed to document and preserve the traditional clothing of various European countries and continents, reflecting the growing interest in ethnography and anthropology during this period. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the unique character of each subject make this series an invaluable resource for scholars of European history and fashion. This engraving, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offers a fascinating window into the past, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Europe and the diversity of its people. The man's occupation, whether farmer or another rural worker, is suggested by his clothing and the rural setting, adding to the authenticity of the image. Overall, 'Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de la Foret Noire' is a beautiful and intriguing work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
