Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Catalan,' c1797: A Visual Exploration of 18th Century Catalan Costume This print, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Catalan,'' created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse around 1797, offers an intriguing glimpse into the traditional attire of Catalonia during the late 18th century. The image, which is now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases a man dressed in the full Catalan costume, complete with a cloak, hat, boots, and other distinctive elements. The engraving, which is hand-tinted on paper, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the works of Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and Labrousse. The rich colors and textures of the costume are brought to life through the artisans' skilled use of hand-coloring techniques. The man in the image is depicted standing outdoors, looking away from the viewer, as if lost in thought or contemplation. He wears a long, flowing cloak, which is draped over one arm, revealing a simple, high-necked shirt and a pair of full-length trousers. The man's hat, which is adorned with a wide, colorful band, sits atop his head at a rakish angle. The boots he wears are a particularly noteworthy feature of the costume. Known as carriage boots, they are characterized by their high, rounded toes and their laces, which are tied in a distinctive knot at the ankle. These boots were a common element of 18th century European footwear and were particularly popular in Catalonia. This print, which is part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, is an invaluable resource for scholars of European ethnography and anthropology. It provides a rare and detailed record of the traditional clothing of the Catalan people during a time when such records were scarce. The print's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time, allowing us to catch a fleeting glimpse of a bygone era and the rich cultural heritage it represents.
