EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme-Nord-Est de l'Asie' (1797) by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur is an intriguing and captivating work of art and ethnographic documentation from the late 18th century. This hand-tinted engraving on paper depicts a man from Northeast Asia, dressed in traditional clothing from the region. The man is shown standing full length, wearing a green coat with a fur-lined hood, a long, flowing green robe, and a tall, conical hat. In his hand, he holds a long, wooden stick, and in the other, he appears to be igniting a spark or fire. The image is part of Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's larger series, "Costumes de Differents Pays," which aimed to document and preserve the diverse clothing and customs of various countries and continents. This particular print focuses on the people of Northeast Asia, an area that was of great interest to European explorers and scholars at the time. The engraving is rich in detail and color, with the man's clothing and surroundings expertly rendered. The use of hand coloring and tinting adds depth and texture to the image, making it a stunning example of 18th-century art and ethnography. The location of the scene is not explicitly stated, but the man's traditional dress and the outdoor setting suggest that he may be from a rural or tribal community. Today, this rare and beautiful work of art is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of Northeast Asia and the importance of documenting and preserving traditional clothing and customs.
