EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Femme des Ysles des Amis'" by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The image showcases a full-length portrait of a woman from the Friendly Isles of the Pacific, likely from the Polynesian region. The woman is depicted in her traditional attire, adorned with intricate accessories and jewelry. She is barefoot, her feet adorned with only simple ankle ornaments, and her body is painted in vibrant colors, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Oceania. The hand-tinted engraving on paper, published in France, is a testament to the ethnographic and anthropological interests of the time. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur meticulously captured the details of the woman's costume, from the intricate necklace and leg ornaments to the delicate hand jewelry. The exterior setting of the image further emphasizes the connection between the woman and her natural surroundings. This print is an essential addition to any collection of historic fashion, ethnography, or art. It offers a glimpse into the diverse and rich cultural traditions of Oceania during the 18th century, providing valuable insights into the lives of people from this part of the world. Today, this precious piece is preserved and displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of Oceania and the world.
