EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Guerrière de la Rivière d'Amazones' (Costumes of Different Countries: 'Warrior Woman of the Amazon River', c1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This work of art, created in the late 18th century, showcases the rich diversity of global fashion and culture. The focus of the image is a striking Amazonian warrior, dressed in traditional attire that reflects the unique characteristics of her continent. The warrior is depicted in full length, standing confidently outdoors with a serene expression on her face as she looks back over her shoulder. She wears a vibrant, hand-colored costume, adorned with intricate details and accessories that reflect the indigenous traditions of her people. Her helmet, a symbol of her warrior status, is adorned with feathers and other natural materials. Her legs are adorned with ornate ornaments, and she carries a weapon, adding to her formidable appearance. This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Guerrière de la Rivière d'Amazones'' is a significant piece of ethnographic and historical art. It provides a glimpse into the fashion and cultural practices of different parts of the world during the 18th century. The intricate details of the engraving and the vivid colors used in the hand-tinting make it a stunning work of art that continues to captivate audiences today. This piece is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical and artistic significance.
