EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme & Femme de Prague en Boheme' (Costumes of Different Countries, 'Man and Woman of Prague in Bohemia'), created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse in 1797, offers a captivating glimpse into the traditional attire of the people of Prague during the late 18th century. This exquisite hand-tinted engraving on paper, housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), transports us to the heart of Bohemia, an area that was part of the Czech lands in Europe. The image features a couple, both dressed in the local Bohemian style. The man wears a long, fur-trimmed coat, a fur hat adorned with a feather, and a pair of breeches. He stands confidently with one hand on his hip, making direct eye contact with the viewer. The woman, dressed in a long, full-length gown with an apron, wears a colorful, patterned headscarf and a fur-trimmed shawl. She holds a basket in one hand, adding to the rustic charm of the scene. The couple's attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of the region, which was influenced by its location at the crossroads of Eastern and Western Europe. The intricate details of their clothing, from the fur trims to the intricate patterns, are beautifully rendered in the hand-tinted engraving. The exterior setting, with its rolling hills and trees in the background, further emphasizes the rural, pastoral nature of Bohemian life during this period. This stunning work of art, created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, offers a valuable insight into the fashion and cultural traditions of the past, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical or anthropological art.
