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 Hindu priest, or "Pretre Indou," standing outdoors with a serene expression on his face. He is dressed in traditional attire, including a bare chest adorned with intricate body art, a colorful sash around his waist, and a head dress with elaborate headdress and prayer beads. The priest is depicted in profile, looking away from the viewer, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the image. The engraving is hand-tinted, adding vibrant hues to the already detailed and richly textured clothing and accessories. The background is left blank, drawing the focus to the subject and his distinctive costume. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century, showcasing the diversity of clothing and traditions from different parts of the world. The image is a valuable resource for anthropologists, historians, and fashion enthusiasts, providing insight into the clothing and appearance of people from various countries and cultures during this time period. The "Costumes de Différents Pays" series by Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and Labrousse was published in France and is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The series includes depictions of people from various countries and ethnicities, making it an important historical and ethnographic record of the late 18th century. The image of the Hindu priest is a striking example of the attention to detail and artistic skill of the creators, capturing the essence of the subject and providing a glimpse into the past. The image continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, offering a window into the rich and diverse world of 18th century fashion and culture.
