EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Femme de la Côte des Graines' (Woman of the Grain Coast, Liberia, West Africa, c1797) is an exquisite and intriguing engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century, specifically focusing on the people and apparel of the African continent. The 'Femme de la Côte des Graines' is depicted in a full-length pose, beautifully hand-colored and tinted on paper. She is shown cradling a baby in her arms, both of them barefoot, their feet touching the sandy coastal terrain. The woman wears an elaborate and vibrant costume, reflecting the unique style and traditions of the Grain Coast region in Liberia, West Africa. Her dress is adorned with intricate patterns, symbolizing her connection to the land and her community. This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Differents Pays' (Costumes of Different Countries), is a significant contribution to the fields of ethnography and ethnology. It offers a glimpse into the lives of indigenous peoples and their customs, providing valuable historical insights. The 'Femme de la Côte des Graines' and her baby represent the continuity of life and the importance of family in these communities. This stunning artwork, created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) extensive collection. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural diversity that exists across the globe and the importance of preserving and celebrating our shared human heritage.
