EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays: 'Guerrier de l'Isle St. Louis dans le Sénégal' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (c1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving that captures the vibrant and intricate details of an African warrior from the Isle St. Louis in Senegal during the late 18th century. The full-length portrait showcases the warrior wearing a colorful, patterned tunic, adorned with beads and fringes, and a pink turban adorned with a feather. He holds a dagger in one hand and a child, dressed in a similar but simpler attire, sits on his lap. The engraving, published in France, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Africa and the ethnographic interest in the continent during the 18th century. The exterior setting, with the warrior and child surrounded by lush greenery and a rose bush, adds to the serene and idyllic atmosphere of the scene. This stunning work of art, created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical, anthropological, or artistic significance. The hand-colored engraving, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the diverse and rich cultural traditions of Africa.
