EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de l'Isle des Amis' (1797) is an intriguing and visually captivating engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length depiction of a bare-chested, barefoot man from the Friendly Isles (now known as the Society Islands in French Polynesia) showcases the rich and diverse clothing traditions of various countries during the 18th century. The man, with his arm raised and hand gesturing, is adorned in a simple yet striking costume that reflects his indigenous heritage. His body is painted with intricate designs, adding an additional layer of cultural significance to the image. The hand-tinted engraving on paper, with its vibrant colors, further enhances the detail and authenticity of the representation. This work, titled 'Costumes de Differents Pays' (Costumes of Different Countries), is an essential piece in the field of ethnography and ethnology, offering a glimpse into the lives and traditions of people from different parts of the world during a time when European exploration and colonization were shaping the global landscape. The 'Homme de l'Isle des Amis' is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on 18th-century apparel, fashion, and cultural history. This historic artwork, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the rich tapestry of human history and the diverse ways in which people express their identity through clothing and adornment.
