EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Paysans et Paysannes Anglais' (1797) is a captivating and intriguing engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse that offers a glimpse into the agricultural life of England during the late 18th century. The full-length image features a diverse array of English rural workers, both men and women, engaged in various agricultural tasks. The image opens up with a man wearing a simple, high-waisted linen smock, holding a scythe in one hand and a bucket in the other. He is likely an agricultural laborer, dressed in practical clothing suitable for long hours of hard work in the fields. Next to him, a woman in a full, voluminous skirt and a white apron is carrying a hand cart laden with fruits and vegetables, possibly a market seller or a farmer's wife. The engraving also depicts a farmhand wearing a straw hat and a long-sleeved shirt, holding a pitchfork, while another man is seen plowing the land with a horse-drawn plow. The women in the image are dressed in simple, yet elegant, long-sleeved dresses with aprons, reflecting the modest and hardworking nature of rural life. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, titled 'Costumes de Differents Pays, Paysans et Paysannes Anglais,' is a valuable historical document that provides insights into the clothing, jobs, and social structure of rural England during the 18th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the image make it a fascinating piece of ethnographic and anthropological significance, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the local people and their connection to the land. This beautiful and historic artwork, created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of fashion, agriculture, or the social and cultural history of England during the 18th century.
