EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Mulâtre Libre du Mexique' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, is an intriguing and captivating 18th-century engraving that offers a glimpse into the diverse ethnicities and rich cultural heritage of Central America. The full-length figure depicted in this print is a 'Mulâtre Libre' or free mulatto from Mexico. Dressed in traditional attire, the woman wears a long, brightly colored dress made of thick fabric, adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. She wears a blanket draped over her shoulders, and her feet are bare, revealing the desert terrain beneath. The engraving, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays' or 'Costumes of Different Countries,' is a testament to the ethnographic and ethnological interests of the time. It reflects the desire to document and preserve the unique clothing and customs of various ethnic groups. The print was produced in France during the late 1700s, and the hand-tinted engraving on paper adds to its artistic value. The woman's hat, with its distinctive shape and decorative elements, is a clear indication of her Mexican heritage. Her bare feet and the barren desert landscape in the background further emphasize her connection to the land and her indigenous roots. The print is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and it continues to be an essential resource for scholars and enthusiasts of anthropology, apparel, and art history. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the rich cultural heritage of Central America and the diverse ways in which people expressed their identity through clothing and fashion.
