EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Costumes de Différent Pays, 'Paysan et Paysanne des environs de Paris'" by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, dates back to the late 18th century, specifically the 1790s. The engraving showcases two figures, a farmer and a farmer's wife, dressed in traditional attire from the surroundings of Paris. The intricately detailed image offers a glimpse into the agricultural lifestyle of the time, providing valuable insights into the clothing and customs of rural France. The farmer, depicted in full length, wears a simple, practical outfit consisting of a blue shirt, a brown waistcoat, and a pair of trousers held up by a belt. A large, woven straw hat shields him from the sun, while a pair of sturdy boots protect his feet. In his hands, he carries a pitchfork, symbolizing the hard labor that was a daily reality for agricultural workers during this period. The farmer's wife, dressed in an elegant yet functional apron, is shown carrying a large basket on her back. Her attire includes a long, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt, adorned with intricate patterns and colorful designs. Her hair is styled in a simple yet elegant updo, and she wears a white cap to protect her head from the sun. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, originally published in Paris, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 18th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors used in the print make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on anthropology, ethnography, or the history of fashion. Today, this stunning work of art can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse and fascinating world of the past.
