EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Differents Pays, 'Femme Sauvage des Ysles Pelew' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (c1797) is an engraving and hand-tinted print that offers a fascinating glimpse into the ethnography and fashion of the 18th century. The image depicts a native woman from the Republic of Palau in the Micronesia region of Oceania. She is shown in a full-length portrait, dressed in traditional attire, cradling a baby in her arms while carrying a basket on her back. The woman is depicted with bare feet, a common practice in many indigenous cultures. Her clothing consists of a colorful skirt made of woven fabric, adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. She wears a top made of the same material, with a low neckline and short sleeves. Her hair is styled in loose waves, and she wears multiple necklaces and bracelets made of shells and other natural materials. The print is part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, which was published in France during the late 18th century. The series aimed to document and preserve the traditional clothing and customs of various countries and peoples around the world. This particular image of the 'Femme Sauvage des Ysles Pelew' provides a valuable record of the apparel and lifestyle of the indigenous people of Palau during this time. The print is now held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Pacific Islands. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse traditions and customs of different communities throughout history.
