EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de l'Isle de Tanna' (c1797) is an intriguing and captivating work of art from the 18th century, created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length engraving on paper, hand-tinted in color, showcases the distinctive attire and body decoration of an indigenous man from the Isle of Tanna in present-day Vanuatu. The man is depicted bare-chested, wearing a grass skirt, and adorned with various accessories. He wears an armband on his left arm and holds a club in his right hand, with his arms crossed defiantly. His hair is styled in a unique and intricate manner, adding to his regal appearance. This work is a significant contribution to the fields of anthropology, ethnography, and ethnology, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the South Pacific. It is a testament to the diversity and complexity of the world during the 18th century, a time when European explorers were discovering new lands and encountering peoples with vastly different ways of life. The hand-tinted engraving, which is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable historical document that continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the human experience. The man's strong and proud posture, coupled with his distinctive costume, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultures and traditions of the world.
