EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différent Pays, 'Frontispice de l'Afrique' (1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, showcasing the diverse costumes and traditions of Africa. The captivating image, published in Paris during the late 18th century, presents a solitary African woman, dressed in an intricately patterned garment, adorned with beads and a headdress, seated outdoors. She gracefully gestures towards a menagerie of exotic animals, including an elephant, lion, and various birds, that surround her. This stunning frontispiece, from the book 'Costumes de Different Pays,' is a significant contribution to the fields of ethnography and ethnology, reflecting the European fascination with the 'Other' and the desire to document and categorize the world's diverse cultures. The meticulously hand-colored engraving on paper, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic mastery of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. The image, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the fashion, customs, and traditions of Africa during the late 18th century. The woman's regal bearing and the richness of her attire convey a sense of pride and dignity, challenging stereotypes and offering a more nuanced perspective on the African continent and its people.
