EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length engraving, titled 'Vieillard de la Foret Noire' or 'Old Man of the Black Forest' from the series 'Costumes de Différents Pays' (Costumes of Different Countries) by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, dates back to the late 18th century, around 1797. The image depicts an elderly man from the Black Forest region in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, dressed in traditional attire. He is seated comfortably in a wooden chair, his posture suggesting a sense of contentment and relaxation. The old man wears a brown coat with a gaiter at the waist, a pair of brown breeches or britches, and a garter holding up his stockings. He dons a brown hat adorned with a feather and a band around the brim. In his hands, he holds a mug of beer, his expression indicating that he is enjoying a drink. A loaf of bread is placed on the table beside him, adding to the sense of warmth and homeliness. This engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the clothing and lifestyle of the local people of Europe during the 18th century. The intricate details of the man's costume, the realistic depiction of the interior, and the authenticity of the props all contribute to the historical and ethnographic value of this artwork. The hand-tinted engraving on paper, with its rich colors and vibrant details, is a testament to the skill and artistry of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This image is a valuable addition to any collection of historic art, anthropology, or fashion clothing, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Europe.
