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 Javanese nobleman from the Isle of Java in Indonesia. Dressed in traditional attire, the aristocrat is shown with his arms gracefully extended, adding a regal and elegant touch to the composition. The nobleman's attire consists of a long, flowing white shirt, a colorful sash around his waist, and a headdress adorned with intricate patterns and feathers. His bare feet are visible, emphasizing the connection between the human body and the natural world. The engraving is hand-tinted, adding vibrant colors to the various textiles and patterns, making the image even more visually striking. This historic artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Indonesia during the 18th century. It provides a glimpse into the lives of the local people and their unique fashion, offering a valuable insight into the diversity and complexity of the world at that time. The image, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is an essential addition to any collection focusing on anthropology, ethnography, or the history of apparel and fashion. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse were renowned artists and engravers of their time, and their collaborative work, "Costumes de Différents Pays," remains a significant contribution to the fields of art and ethnology. The full-length, exterior scene invites viewers to explore the intricacies of the Javanese nobleman's costume, as well as the broader context of the culture and history of the Isle of Java during the late 18th century.
