EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Costumes de Différents Pays," or "Costumes of Different Countries," by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, dates back to the late 18th century, specifically around 1797. The image showcases a Chinese Cavalier in full regalia, proudly gesturing towards the viewer while mounted on a horse. The cavalier wears an intricately designed costume, complete with a tall, conical hat adorned with a phoenix, a flowing robe, and a sash. He carries a quiver of arrows on his back, signifying his role as a warrior or hunter. The background of the print is filled with a bustling crowd of people, adding to the sense of excitement and movement. The rich colors and meticulous hand-tinting bring the print to life, transporting the viewer to a different time and place. The Chinese cavalier, with his confident demeanor and exotic appearance, represents the far-off continent of Asia, which was a subject of great fascination during the 18th century in Europe. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse were renowned French artists and publishers who specialized in creating engravings of costumes and ethnographic subjects from various parts of the world. Their work, which includes over 200 prints, is considered an important contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnography, as well as to the history of art and fashion. This particular print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
