EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme du Brabant' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (c1797) is an engraving that showcases the traditional attire of a man from Brabant, Belgium during the late 18th century. This full-length portrait depicts the subject proudly dressed in the regional clothing, which includes a brown coat, blue trousers, and a brown hat adorned with a feather. The man is shown outside, standing next to a rowboat with a cigar in hand, possibly suggesting a connection to the waterways and maritime activities common in Brabant. The hand-tinted engraving on paper, published in Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's 'Costumes de Differents Pays,' offers a glimpse into the ethnic diversity and rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 1790s. The anthropological and ethnological significance of this work lies in its documentation of the traditional clothing and customs of various European regions, providing valuable insights into the social and historical context of the time. The 'Homme du Brabant' is a striking representation of the pride and tradition embodied in the clothing of the past. The intricate details of the costume, from the textures of the fabric to the subtle shading, are beautifully captured in the hand-coloured engraving. This historic artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the enduring allure of European history and the importance of preserving and celebrating cultural heritage.
