EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Femmes Nobles Peruviennes, Moderne et Ancienne' (1797) is an exquisite and intriguing hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, showcasing the traditional costumes of Peruvian noblewomen from both ancient and modern times. This full-length image, published in France during the late 18th century, offers a unique glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of South America. The contrast between the ancient and modern costumes is striking. The ancient Peruvian woman wears a voluminous, vibrantly colored dress adorned with intricate geometric patterns and a tall, conical headdress. Her clothing is made of heavy fabric, likely woven from natural fibers such as cotton or wool. In contrast, the modern Peruvian noblewoman wears a European-style dress, complete with a fitted bodice, full skirt, and a cape draped over her shoulders. Her headdress is more modest, and her dress is made of lighter, more flowing fabric. The exterior setting of the image places the women in an outdoor location, possibly in a garden or courtyard. The use of hand coloring adds depth and texture to the engraving, making the costumes appear even more lifelike and authentic. This historic artwork is a testament to the diverse and fascinating world of 18th-century fashion and ethnography. Today, this precious piece of heritage art is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural history of Peru and the broader world.
