EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays' or 'Costumes of Different Countries,' is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, created around 1797. The image showcases a 'Guerrier du Royaume de Benin,' or a warrior from the Kingdom of Benin, located in present-day West Africa. The warrior is depicted in full regalia, wearing an intricately designed costume that includes a bare chest adorned with beads and jewelry, a skirt made of brightly colored fabric, anklets, and a headpiece. He wields a blade, a dagger, and a club as weapons, which are also decorated with various materials. The background of the print is filled with other figures, some of whom are also dressed in traditional African attire, adding to the ethnographic and anthropological significance of the image. The print is hand-colored, giving it a vibrant and detailed appearance. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Africa during the 18th century and provides valuable insights into the fashion, customs, and traditions of the time. This print was published in France and is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It is a valuable addition to any collection of historic art, ethnography, or anthropology, and is a reminder of the diverse and fascinating cultures that have shaped the world's history.
