EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costumes de Différents Pays" or "Costumes of Different Countries," was created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur around 1797. This particular image showcases the attire of an Indian agricultural laborer, referred to as "Paysan Indou," capturing the essence of rural life in the late 18th century. The image is a full-length representation of a bare-chested man, dressed in a simple loincloth, adorned with a colorful headdress, and gesturing towards a plow. The intricate details of his clothing, from the folds of his loincloth to the patterns on his headdress, are beautifully rendered in this hand-tinted engraving on paper. The "Costumes de Différents Pays" series was a groundbreaking work in the field of ethnography and anthropology, showcasing the diverse clothing styles and traditions of various countries and cultures. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to authenticity made this series an invaluable resource for scholars and artists alike. This image, housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the agricultural life of the past, providing a window into the history and heritage of different communities. The image's rich colors and intricate details continue to captivate viewers, making it a cherished piece of historical art and a testament to the diversity and complexity of human culture.
