EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Femme Acadienne' (1797) is a captivating and historically significant engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length portrait depicts a solitary Acadian woman, dressed in traditional clothing, standing outdoors against a backdrop of lush greenery. The woman wears a long, full skirt adorned with intricate floral patterns, a fitted bodice, and a shawl draped over her shoulders. In her hands, she cradles a game bird, its vibrant plumage in stark contrast to the muted tones of her dress. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of New France and the Acadian colonies in North America during the 18th century. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and Labrousse's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the hand-tinted engraving, which brings the textures and colors of the woman's clothing and the natural surroundings to life. The 'Femme Acadienne' portrait is a valuable addition to the ethnographic and anthropological record of the time, providing insight into the clothing and customs of the Acadian people. The image was published as part of the series 'Costumes de Differents Pays,' which documented the diverse costumes of various countries and regions. Today, this historic work is preserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, serving as a reminder of the cultural exchanges and traditions that shaped the colonial world.
