EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving, titled "Costume Plate (Devineresse de Krasnajarsk)" by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, showcases a man from Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Russia, dressed in traditional attire from the late 18th to early 19th century. The full-length portrait depicts the subject from the rear, with his back facing the viewer. He wears a blue, hand-tinted, long-sleeved shirt, a colorful, patterned, knee-length skirt, and a tall, conical hat adorned with intricate designs. A dagger is secured to his waist, and a shield is slung over his shoulder, suggesting his possible role as a protector or warrior in his community. The exterior scene sets the stage for this ethnographic study, with the subject standing in an open, natural setting. The engraving, which is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Russia during this period. The intricate details of the costume, the textures of the fabric, and the authenticity of the accessories make this a valuable addition to any collection focusing on anthropology, ethnography, or the history of fashion. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French artist and ethnographer, is known for his meticulous and accurate depictions of the costumes and customs of various peoples around the world. This particular plate, which is part of a larger series, offers a unique glimpse into the lives and traditions of the people of Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, during a time when such information was essential for expanding global knowledge and understanding. The hand-colored engraving, with its stunning attention to detail and vibrant colors, is a testament to the artistry and scientific inquiry of the 18th and 19th centuries. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the rich cultural heritage of the world, and the role that art and ethnography play in fostering a deeper appreciation for the diversity and complexity of human societies.
