EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays' or 'Costumes of Different Countries,' is a stunning work by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, created around 1797. The image depicts a Hawaiian priest, known as the 'Pretre des Ysles de Sandwich,' standing in an exterior setting, likely representing his native land. Dressed in traditional attire, the priest wears a simple yet vibrant cloak, adorned with intricate patterns in green color. His bare feet are visible, adding a raw and authentic touch to the image. The hand-tinted engraving on paper brings the priest's body and the lush, tropical surroundings to life, transporting the viewer to a far-off land and time. This work is an essential piece of anthropological and ethnographic history, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Pacific Islands. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist, traveled extensively throughout the world, documenting the diverse clothing and customs of various countries. His 'Costumes de Différents Pays' series is a testament to his dedication to capturing and preserving the unique aspects of different cultures. Today, this historic work is held in the prestigious Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the fascinating world of global fashion and cultural history.
