EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Guerrier de Guida' or 'Warrior of Guida' from Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's series 'Costumes de Differents Pays' (Costumes of Different Countries), dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The image depicts an African man, likely from the Edo region of Benin, Africa, standing in a full-length profile. He is dressed in traditional attire, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The warrior holds a quiver of arrows slung over his shoulder, a spear in one hand, and a shield in the other. His expression is strong and determined, reflecting the fierce warrior spirit of his people. This hand-tinted engraving on paper was published in France and is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) extensive collection. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Africa during the 18th century, providing valuable insights into the clothing, accessories, and weapons of the time. Ethnographers and anthropologists have long studied this print and others like it, using them as primary sources for understanding the diverse and complex histories of different African communities. The 'Guerrier de Guida' print is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's work. His meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accurately recording the costumes and customs of various peoples around the world make his engravings an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. This striking image of the African warrior not only showcases the beauty and complexity of traditional African clothing but also offers a window into the past, allowing us to connect with the people and cultures that shaped our world.
