EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays," or "Costumes of Different Countries," is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, created around 1797. This full-length portrait depicts a Morlaque man from the Canton of Segna, dressed in traditional attire from the region located in present-day France. The Morlaque, also known as the Maures or Maurens, were a group of people inhabiting the coastal areas of Provence, known for their distinctive customs and dress. The man in the image wears a green hooded cape, a red tunic, and a wide-brimmed hat with a distinctive design. He carries a rifle and a blade on his belt, reflecting the rural and militaristic aspects of his community. This hand-tinted engraving on paper is a fascinating glimpse into the ethnographic and anthropological records of the 18th century. It showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Morlaches and provides insight into the clothing and fashion trends of the time. The exterior setting, with the man looking away from the viewer, adds to the sense of authenticity and historical context. This artwork is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on apparel, art, or the history of France. It is an essential piece for those interested in ethnography, ethnology, and the study of local people and their traditions. The hand-colored engraving is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The intricate details of the Morlaque's costume, the naturalistic colors, and the masterful execution of the engraving make this a captivating and visually striking piece. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, who captured the essence of a bygone era and the unique traditions of the Morlache people.
