EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays, Paysan du Canton de Lucerne' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The image depicts an agricultural laborer from the Canton of Lucerne in Switzerland. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a renowned French artist and ethnographer, meticulously documented various costumes from different countries in Europe and beyond, making this print an invaluable resource for anthropologists and historians. The laborer is shown in a full-length portrait, dressed in traditional clothing typical of the agricultural workers in the region. He wears a simple, high-waisted breeches or britches, a long-sleeved coat, and a brimmed hat. The clothing is hand-tinted, adding vibrant colors and detail to the engraving on paper. The laborer is depicted standing outside, likely on a farm, with a shovel in hand, suggesting his occupation as a farmhand or farmworker. The print is part of the extensive collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich heritage of European art and fashion from the 18th century. The intricate details and authentic portrayal of the laborer's attire offer a glimpse into the agricultural lifestyle of the time and the cultural diversity of Europe during the late 1700s. This piece not only serves as a historical record but also as an artistic masterpiece, highlighting the importance of ethnography and the documentation of traditional clothing and customs.
