EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Femme de la Nouvelle Calédonie' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse (c1797) is an exquisite and historically significant work of art that offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse world of 18th-century ethnography and fashion. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, part of the renowned series 'Costumes de Differents Pays,' depicts a Melanesian woman from New Caledonia, an island nation located in the Pacific Ocean. The woman is shown in full length, adorned in traditional clothing and accessories. She wears a colorful, patterned cloth draped around her body, secured with a belt at the waist. A large basket is carried on her head, a common practice among Melanesian women for transporting goods. Her legs are adorned with intricately designed ornaments, and her arms are adorned with bracelets and other jewelry. The 'Femme de la Nouvelle Calédonie' is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Melanesian people and the meticulous attention to detail of the French artists Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. The work is a valuable addition to the ethnographic and anthropological records of the time, providing insight into the clothing, accessories, and occupations of people from different parts of the world. This engraving is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse and fascinating world of 18th-century fashion and culture. The 'Femme de la Nouvelle Calédonie' is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique traditions and customs of different communities throughout history.
