EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Costumes of Different Countries," is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, created around 1797. This full-length portrait depicts a young girl, identified as a "Fille Jatar Kastchintz," from the Katchin people of Russia. The girl is shown standing outdoors, wearing traditional clothing and accessories from her homeland. She wears a bright red dress adorned with intricate geometric patterns, a long, fur-trimmed hat, and carries a harp. The girl gazes away from the viewer, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the image. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur was a French artist and ethnographer who traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia, documenting the costumes and customs of various peoples. His work, which includes over 200 engravings, is considered an important contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnology. This particular image, hand-colored and hand-tinted on paper, is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The girl's attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Katchin people, who lived in what is now northern Russia and northeastern Europe. The intricate patterns on her dress and the fur trim on her hat are indicative of the harsh climate and the importance of insulation in their traditional clothing. The harp she carries is a common musical instrument among the Katchin and other neighboring peoples. This image offers a glimpse into the diverse world of 18th-century fashion and the cultural exchange that took place during this period. It is a valuable historical record of the customs and traditions of the Katchin people and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists around the world.
