EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating print from the "Costumes de Differents Pays" series by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, dates back to the 1790s. This intriguing image, created during the 18th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Chinese apparel and armor, showcasing both civilian and military attire. The meticulously hand-tinted engraving on paper depicts two Chinese figures, one in civil attire and the other in military uniform. The civil figure wears a bright red robe, adorned with intricate gold and black patterns, and a wide-brimmed hat with a distinctive upturned rim. The military figure dons a helmet, complete with a dragon motif, and a long, flowing robe with gold trim and a wide sash. Both figures are depicted in a full-length, exterior setting, adding to the authenticity of the scene. This print is an essential contribution to the fields of anthropology, ethnography, and the history of fashion. It offers a unique perspective on the clothing and armor of China during the late 18th century, providing valuable insights into the cultural heritage of Asia. The print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the rich artistic and historical legacy of France and the broader world. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse's "Costumes de Differents Pays" series, including "Quans or Mandarins Chinese, Civil and Military," remains an invaluable resource for scholars, artists, and anyone interested in the diverse and fascinating world of global fashion and cultural history. This print, with its stunning attention to detail and vibrant colors, continues to captivate and inspire viewers more than two centuries after its creation.
