EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différent Pays, 'Marchande d'huitres des Environs de la Rochelle' (1797) by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving that captures the essence of 18th-century French fashion and daily life. The image depicts a woman, dressed in traditional attire from the Rochelle region of France, selling oysters by the harbor. The woman is shown wearing a full-length, voluminous dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, colorful apron. Her headdress is adorned with ribbons and flowers, and she wears clogs on her feet. In one hand, she holds a large basket filled with oysters, while in the other, she offers a small basket to a customer approaching in a carriage. This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Different Pays' or 'Costumes of Different Countries,' is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 18th century. The series, which includes costumes from various countries and regions, was produced by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a renowned French artist and ethnographer. The intricate details of the woman's clothing and accessories, as well as the authentic depiction of her occupation and location, make this engraving a valuable resource for historians, fashion enthusiasts, and art collectors. The hand-tinted colors add depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection or display. This work of art, which is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to explore the diverse and fascinating world of 18th-century European culture.
