EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Sauvagesse de la Baye de Hudson' (1797) by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur is an intriguing and captivating work of art that offers a glimpse into the diverse clothing traditions of various ethnic groups during the late 18th century. This hand-tinted engraving on paper, housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases a group of indigenous people from the Hudson Bay region of Canada. The image is rich in detail, with each figure meticulously dressed in clothing representative of their specific culture. The women wear long, hooded dresses adorned with intricate embroidery and fringes, while the men don coats and trousers, some with fur accents. Footwear includes both moccasins and carriage boots, the latter featuring distinctive designs with hand-painted patterns. The background of the image offers a picturesque representation of the Hudson Bay landscape, with a canoe and a divining rod visible in the foreground, emphasizing the connection between the people and their environment. The title, 'Sauvagesse de la Baye de Hudson' (Savagery of Hudson Bay), may seem outdated by today's standards, but it reflects the ethnographic and ethnological interests of the time. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist and haberdashery merchant, created this work as part of his 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, which documented the clothing of various countries and ethnicities. This particular piece is a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the apparel and cultural practices of the Hudson Bay region during the late 18th century.
