EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différent Pays, 'Laitiere des Environs de Bordeaux' (1797) is an exquisite and intriguing engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This work of art, created in the late 18th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of European ethnography and the diverse clothing traditions of the time. The image depicts a milkmaid from the environs of Bordeaux, France, expertly balancing a large, checkered basket on her head. Dressed in traditional attire, she wears a full-length, high-waisted, checked skirt, a white blouse, and a red apron. Her hands are casually placed on her hips, conveying a sense of confidence and ease. The engraving, which is hand-tinted and hand-colored, showcases the rich colors and intricate patterns of the milkmaid's costume. The artist's skillful use of balance and composition is evident in the way the milkmaid's posture and the placement of the basket create a sense of harmony and stability. This work is a valuable addition to the field of anthropology and ethnography, providing insight into the clothing and occupations of local people in Bordeaux during the late 18th century. The image is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Europe and serves as a reminder of the rich diversity that exists within the continent. The Costumes de Different Pays series, of which this image is a part, was a popular and influential collection of engravings that documented the clothing of various European countries. Today, this work is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
