EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de Nootka' (1797) is an intriguing and historically significant engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length image showcases a man from the Nootka region of the Pacific Northwest, dressed in traditional attire. The ethnographic illustration, hand-tinted and meticulously detailed, offers a glimpse into the clothing and accessories of indigenous peoples during the late 18th century. The man is depicted standing in an outdoor setting, holding an oar and a paddle, suggesting his connection to the water and the maritime culture of the Nootka people. He wears a colorful, layered garment made of animal hides, adorned with intricate designs and patterns. A headdress made of feathers and other natural materials sits atop his head, adding to the rich visual tapestry of this image. This engraving, part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, was produced in France during the late 1790s. It is a valuable historical record of the diverse clothing styles and cultural practices of various ethnic groups around the world. The 'Homme de Nootka' is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the past. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse's 'Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de Nootka' (1797) is a testament to the power of art and ethnography to document and preserve the history and traditions of different peoples and places.
