EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de Murcie' (1797) by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur is an intriguing and visually striking engraving that showcases the traditional attire of a man from Murcia, Spain. This beautiful hand-tinted engraving, published in France during the late 18th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the ethnographic and anthropological record of European and non-European clothing styles. The 'Homme de Murcie' stands confidently outdoors, his posture exuding a sense of pride and dignity. He wears a full-length, striped cape, which is fastened at the neck and covers his shoulders and arms. Beneath the cape, he dons a pair of short, loose-fitting pants and a simple, unadorned shirt. A blanket, draped over one shoulder, adds a layer of warmth and protection. The man completes his ensemble with a hand on his hip, a common pose in portraits of the time. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the hand-tinted engraving bring the traditional costume to life, providing a window into the past. The 'Homme de Murcie' is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Spain and the importance of recording and preserving the diverse clothing traditions of different continents and countries. This historic artwork, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on European art, fashion, and ethnography. The 'Homme de Murcie' is not only an aesthetic pleasure but also a reminder of the importance of understanding and appreciating the unique clothing traditions of various cultures throughout history.
