EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Paysan des Environs de Berne' (1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This evocative image captures the essence of rural life in the late 18th century, specifically showcasing the traditional attire of a farmer from the surroundings of Bern, Switzerland. The engraving, which is part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during this period. The artist meticulously depicts the farmer in full length, standing confidently before an exterior backdrop. He wears a pair of high, laced boots, known as carriage boots, which were a common footwear choice for farmers in the region. The farmer's breeches, or britches, are made of a coarse fabric, reflecting the practical nature of his occupation. His shirt is simple and white, while his waistcoat and jacket are adorned with intricate patterns and a vibrant pink color. The hand-coloring technique used by LF Labrousse adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the historical scene to life. The farmer's expression is serious yet content, conveying the hardworking nature of the rural population during this time. The setting, with its lush greenery and clear blue sky, further emphasizes the connection between the farmer and the land. This print is a valuable addition to any collection focused on anthropology, apparel, or European history. It offers a unique glimpse into the clothing and fashion trends of the 18th century, as well as the daily lives of local people in various European regions. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to house this historical treasure, allowing future generations to appreciate and learn from its rich details and intricacies.
