EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Costumes of Different Countries," is a captivating engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, created around 1797. This exquisite work of art transports us back to the 18th century, specifically the 1790s, and invites us to explore the rich and diverse world of apparel and traditions from various regions. The image, titled "Polonnoise," showcases a full-length portrait of a woman wearing the traditional Polish costume, known as the "Polish dress" or "Polonnese." The costume is a stunning display of Eastern European heritage, featuring a voluminous, hand-tinted, hand-coloured dress adorned with intricate floral patterns. The dress is also trimmed with luxurious fur, adding an element of warmth and elegance. The woman wears a tall, conical hat, also known as a "kokoshnik," which is a distinctive feature of Polish and Ukrainian traditional headwear. The scene is set outdoors, with the woman standing gracefully against a backdrop of a lush, green landscape. The location is not explicitly stated, but the traditional Polish costume suggests an Eastern European origin. The image is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the artistic skill of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This engraving is a valuable historical and ethnographic record, providing insights into the clothing and customs of different peoples during the 18th century. It is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of the past. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse traditions and customs that make up our global cultural tapestry.
