EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays," or "Costumes of Different Countries," is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, created around 1797. This full-length image depicts a Russian merchant, dressed in traditional attire, standing outside in a rural location. The merchant is shown carrying a large basket on his head, balanced precariously with one hand while holding a fur-trimmed coat in the other. The richly detailed engraving showcases the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the merchant's clothing, including a voluminous fur-lined coat, a brightly colored dress with laces, and a fur hat adorned with a tassel. The image is a testament to the rich cultural diversity of the 18th century and the growing interest in ethnography and anthropology during this period. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and Labrousse's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accurately representing the costumes of various countries made "Costumes de Différents Pays" a groundbreaking publication in the field of visual anthropology. This hand-tinted engraving on paper is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the exterior world of rural life in the 1790s. The merchant's posture and offering hand suggest a sense of hospitality and openness, inviting the viewer into a world far removed from the urban centers of Europe. Today, this historic artwork is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of the past. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the clothing and fashion of the time, offering a unique perspective on the lives of people from different regions and countries. The intricate details of the merchant's attire, the vibrant colors, and the sense of place all combine to create a captivating and enduring work of art.
