EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Homme Acadien" from Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's "Costumes de Differents Pays" series, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The image showcases an Acadian man from Nova Scotia, Canada, dressed in traditional attire. The Acadians, also known as Acadian Canadians or Acadian French, are descendants of the French colonists who settled in the Maritimes region of North America in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Acadian man in this print is depicted in a full-length portrait, carrying a game bird on his shoulders. He wears a simple loincloth, adorned with intricate body paint and colorful designs. The man is also shown wearing a cap and carrying an axe. The print is an engraving on paper, hand-colored or hand-tinted, adding to its vibrant and detailed appearance. The "Costumes de Differents Pays" series, which includes this print, was created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist and ethnographer. The series aimed to document and preserve the traditional costumes and customs of various countries and ethnic groups, including the Acadians in North America. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insight into the lives and traditions of the Acadian people during the late 18th century. Today, this precious piece of heritage art is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and educate visitors about the rich history and cultural diversity of North America and the world.
