EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Barbaresque Enveloppé Iana son Manteau' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, c1797, is an intriguing and captivating work of art that showcases the rich cultural diversity of the 18th century, specifically focusing on the North African region. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the ethnographic and anthropological exploration of different countries and their traditional clothing. The image depicts a North African man, dressed in a full-length cloak, or 'manteau,' adorned with intricate geometric patterns. His beard, a common feature among North African men during this period, is long and full, reaching down to his chest. He wears a brown head dress, or headdress, which adds to the overall exoticism of the image. The man is shown outdoors, with a pipe in hand, suggesting a moment of relaxation or contemplation. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist, was known for his ethnographic and ethnological studies, which were popular during the late 18th century. His work, 'Costumes de Differents Pays,' was a series of engravings that documented the clothing and customs of various countries and continents. This particular image, titled 'Barbaresque Enveloppé Iana son Manteau,' is a striking representation of North African fashion during this time period. The use of color and fabric in the image adds depth and texture, bringing the subject to life and transporting the viewer to a different time and place. The image is a valuable historical record of the diverse and complex cultural traditions that existed during the late 18th century, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our shared heritage.
