EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différent Pays, 'Français et Françaises' (Different Costumes of the World, 'French and French Women'), is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, created around 1797. This image is a testament to the rich and diverse fashion traditions of the 18th century, specifically focusing on the apparel of the French and Europeans. The print depicts a blonde couple, both dressed in traditional attire, standing outdoors against a backdrop of a picturesque European landscape. The man wears a coat and breeches in a deep purple hue, accessorized with a hat adorned with a feather. His companion, a woman with long, flowing fair hair, dons a full-length dress in a lighter shade of purple, complete with a hand-tinted apron and a hat with a ribbon. The intricately detailed engraving, hand-colored and hand-tinted on paper, showcases the concept of ethnography and the fascination with the clothing and customs of different continents and countries during this period. The couple, who appear to be looking away from each other, add an element of mystery and intrigue to the image. This historic artwork, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), provides a glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural heritage of the 18th century, offering a unique insight into the lives and appearances of people from this era. The publication of 'Costumes de Different Pays' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse was a significant contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnography, as it documented and celebrated the diverse clothing traditions of the world.
