EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Sauvagesse de la Terre de Natal' (1797) is an intriguing and captivating engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse that offers a glimpse into the diverse and rich cultural heritage of Africa during the late 18th century. This full-length image depicts a group of African women, each wearing traditional costumes representative of different regions and tribes. The women are shown standing in an exterior setting, surrounded by lush vegetation, with one woman holding a fruit branch in her hand. The intricate details of their clothing and headdresses are beautifully rendered, from the vibrant colors and patterns of their dresses to the delicate folds and textures of the fabric. Some women are barefoot, their feet adorned only with grass or leaves, while others wear sandals or shoes made of animal hide. The women's bodies are depicted with a sense of dignity and strength, reflecting the pride and resilience of the indigenous peoples of the continent. This engraving, which is hand-tinted on paper, is a testament to the ethnographic and ethnological interest in the study of different cultures and peoples that was prevalent during the Enlightenment period in Europe. It is a valuable historical record of the rich and varied clothing traditions of Africa, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the heritage of diverse communities around the world. This image, which is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a rare and precious example of the work of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, two prominent French artists and publishers of the time. Their collaborative work, 'Costumes de Différents Pays,' was a groundbreaking series that documented the clothing and customs of people from various parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
