EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différent Pays, 'Paysan de L'Angoumois' (1797) by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse is an exquisite and intriguing 18th-century engraving that offers a glimpse into the diverse clothing traditions of Europe, specifically focusing on the farmer of Angoumois, a region in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The full-length figure, depicted in a rustic setting, is shown wearing traditional garments of the time. He dons a blue coat with a red vest, a white shirt, and a pair of breeches held up by a garter. A wide-brimmed hat adorns his head, and he carries a bag slung over his shoulder. The image is hand-tinted, adding vibrant colors to the otherwise monochrome engraving. The 'Costumes de Different Pays' series, of which this is a part, was a popular ethnographic project during the late 18th century, documenting the various costumes and traditions of different European countries. The series aimed to bridge the geographical and cultural distances between the diverse peoples of Europe, fostering a sense of unity and appreciation for the rich tapestry of European heritage. The 'Paysan de L'Angoumois' image is a testament to the meticulous detail and artistry of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. The engraving not only captures the essence of the Angoumois farmer's attire but also offers a window into the daily life and occupation of rural Europeans during the 1790s. Today, this historic artwork is preserved and showcased at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich and diverse European heritage.
