EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme et Femme de Qualité le Yaggas' is an exquisite 18th-century engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, showcasing the traditional attire of an American Indian couple from the Yagas tribe. The full-length image captures the essence of the ethnic group's unique culture, providing a glimpse into their history and heritage. The man is depicted bare-chested, wearing a simple loincloth and anklets adorned with intricate patterns. His body is painted with geometric designs, reflecting the significance of body art in Yagas culture. He holds a basket in one hand, possibly used for gathering or carrying supplies. The woman is dressed in a full-length, hand-tinted dress, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns. Her bare feet are adorned with anklets, and she wears jewelry around her neck and wrists. She holds a fruit in one hand, symbolizing the abundance of nature and the importance of agriculture in the Yagas way of life. The image, titled 'Costumes de Differents Pays' or 'Costumes of Different Countries,' is part of a larger series that aimed to document and preserve the traditional clothing of various ethnic groups around the world. This particular engraving, featuring the Yagas couple, was produced in France during the late 1790s and is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The engraving offers a valuable insight into the lives and customs of the Yagas people, providing a visual record of their history and cultural traditions that continue to be celebrated and appreciated today.
