EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays, Sauvage de la Baye de Hudson' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The engraving, which is hand-tinted on paper, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of ethnography and anthropology, showcasing the traditional attire of various peoples during that era. The central figure in this full-length portrait is a Canadian hunter, dressed in the clothing typical of the region. He wears a long, fur-trimmed coat, which is secured with a belt, and a pair of high, laced boots known as carriage boots. In his hands, he holds a bow and arrow, indicating his proficiency in hunting. The hunter is depicted standing near a boat, which is likely used for transportation along the Hudson Bay coast. The background of the print features a picturesque landscape, with rolling hills, trees, and a body of water. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a visually striking representation of the time and place. This print, which is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers valuable insights into the clothing and fashion of the 18th century, particularly in the context of Canada and the Hudson Bay region. The intricate details of the hunter's attire, the design of the boat, and the natural beauty of the surroundings make this a must-see piece for anyone interested in history, art, or ethnology.
