EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Sauvage de la Nouvelle Zéelande' (Different Costumes of the Savage of New Zealand), created by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse around 1797, is a captivating and historically significant work of art that showcases the ethnic diversity and unique cultural practices of various communities around the world. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the lives of indigenous peoples from Aotearoa (New Zealand) during the late 18th century. The full-length image depicts a bare-chested and barefoot man, adorned with intricate body paint and various accessories. He wears a cloak made of animal hides, which is secured with a belt and ornamented with feathers and shells. The man is shown standing in front of a grass hut, further emphasizing his connection to the land and his community. This engraving is a part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, which was produced in France during the 18th century. The series aimed to document and preserve the diverse clothing and accessories of various ethnic groups, providing valuable insights into the cultural heritage of different communities around the world. The Sauvage de la Nouvelle Zéelande image is a testament to the richness and complexity of the anthropological and ethnographic record. It offers a unique perspective on the lives of indigenous peoples in Aotearoa during a time when European exploration and colonization were shaping the world. The hand-colored engraving remains an important historical artifact, shedding light on the past and inspiring a deeper appreciation for the cultural heritage of diverse communities.
