EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Ambassadeur du Roy de Pelew' (Costumes of Different Countries, 'Ambassador of the King of Pelew') is an engraving created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse in the late 18th century. This full-length image depicts a Micronesian man from the islands of Palau, dressed in traditional attire, proudly holding a staff as an ambassador of his king. The hand-tinted engraving on paper showcases the intricate details of the man's clothing and accessories, including a vibrant head dress, a loincloth adorned with intricate patterns, and various leg ornaments. The man's headdress, made of feathers and shells, adds a striking contrast of color against the lush, green exterior setting. His arms are adorned with bracelets, and his feet are covered in sandals. The image provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Micronesian people during this era. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse's 'Costumes de Différents Pays' series was a popular anthropological and ethnographic record of the diverse clothing and accessories of various countries and peoples. This particular image, 'Ambassadeur du Roy de Pelew,' offers a unique perspective on the traditional attire of the indigenous people of the Pacific Islands. Today, this historic artwork is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the fascinating world of global fashion and cultural history.
