EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Morlaque de l'Isle Opus' (1797) is an intriguing and captivating engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This beautiful hand-tinted print, created in the late 18th century, showcases a Morlaque man from the Isle of Opus, located in present-day Croatia. The Morlaches were a distinctive ethnic group known for their unique clothing and customs. The Morlaque man in this print is depicted in full length, dressed in traditional clothing. He wears a green cloak draped over his shoulders, a green jacket with intricate patterns, and a tall, conical hat adorned with ribbons. His legs are crossed, and he looks away from the viewer, his hands on his hips. The exterior setting of the image places him in an open, natural environment, possibly suggesting his connection to the land and rural life. This print is an essential contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnography, providing valuable insight into the clothing and appearance of the Morlaches during this time. The hand-coloring and meticulous detail in the engraving further enhance its aesthetic appeal, making it a significant piece of historic art and a fascinating window into the past. The Costumes de Différents Pays series, of which this print is a part, was widely popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting the growing interest in the study of different cultures and peoples. Today, this image is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection and continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the past.
