EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Mahometane Danseuse Publique' (1797) is an intriguing and captivating engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This eighteenth-century masterpiece showcases a Mahometane dancer in a full-length, hand-tinted engraving on paper. The dancer, dressed in traditional Islamic attire, is depicted in an outdoor setting, with one arm raised and the other gesturing in mid-performance. The title 'Costumes de Différents Pays' translates to 'Costumes of Different Countries,' reflecting the ethnographic and anthropological interests of the time. The image provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Islamic world during the late 18th century. The dancer's hejab, a traditional Islamic head covering, is adorned with intricate patterns and colors, adding to the overall visual appeal of the print. This historic artwork is a testament to the diverse and vibrant fashion and clothing trends of the time. The dancer's clothing, which includes a long, flowing robe and intricately designed footwear, is a stunning representation of the Islamic art and design of the era. The use of hand coloring and hand tinting adds depth and texture to the image, making it a truly unique and valuable piece of art and historical record. The 'Mahometane Danseuse Publique' is an essential addition to any collection focusing on 18th-century art, fashion, or ethnography. This image, preserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, continues to inspire and intrigue scholars, historians, and art enthusiasts alike, offering a window into the rich and complex history of Islamic culture and the world of the late 18th century.
