EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Fille de Nootka' (Dresses of Different Countries, 'Girl from Nootka'), is a captivating full-length engraving created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur in the late 18th century. This intriguing work of art, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the rich cultural diversity of the Pacific Northwest during this era. The 'Fille de Nootka' is depicted in a stunning, hand-tinted engraving, dressed in a traditional costume from the Nootka region of Canada. She stands barefoot on the coastal shore, surrounded by the vibrant colors of the natural world. The girl wears a fur-lined cape, adorned with intricate beadwork, and a dress made from the skins of various aquatic creatures. The dress features a striking design of fish and fishes, reflecting the importance of aquatic life in the indigenous culture. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's 'Costumes de Différents Pays' series was a groundbreaking ethnographic publication, documenting the diverse clothing styles of various countries and peoples. This particular image of the 'Fille de Nootka' provides a unique window into the lives of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, showcasing their connection to the land and the sea. The 'Fille de Nootka' stands proudly, her body adorned with the symbols of her heritage, her bare feet rooted in the earth. This powerful image not only captures the essence of the Pacific Northwest during the 1790s but also serves as a testament to the richness and diversity of human culture.
