EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme Patagon' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, created around 1797, is an intriguing and captivating work of art that offers a glimpse into the world of ethnographic exploration during the late 18th century. This hand-colored engraving on paper, held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases a man from the Patagonia region of South America. The 'Homme Patagon' is depicted in full length, wearing a simple yet distinctive costume that reflects his indigenous heritage. He is shown wearing a long, loose tunic made of animal hide, adorned with intricate geometric patterns. A thick, woolen scarf is wrapped around his waist, and he wears knee-length boots with blade-like soles, typical of the Patagonian terrain. His long, unkempt beard and wild, untamed hairstyle further emphasize his connection to the land and his rugged, primal existence. This engraving is part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, which was produced in France during the late 18th century. The series aimed to document and preserve the diverse clothing and customs of various peoples from around the world. The 'Homme Patagon' image is particularly noteworthy for its detailed and accurate representation of Patagonian attire, which was not well-known in Europe at the time. The hand-tinted engraving adds an additional layer of visual interest to the image, bringing the colors and textures of the Patagonian landscape and the man's costume to life. The exterior setting, with its rugged terrain and simple carriage, further emphasizes the man's connection to the land and his unique way of life. Overall, this work of art offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of ethnographic exploration and the diverse cultures of the late 18th century.
