EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Indien du Coromandel de la Caste des Parias' (Different Costumes of the Coromandel Coast, 'Para' Tribe Indian), c1797, is a captivating and historically significant work by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length engraving on paper, hand-tinted in color, offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional attire and customs of the 'Para' caste people from the Coromandel Coast, located in present-day Andhra Pradesh, India. The image features a solitary man, dressed in the traditional attire of his caste. He wears a checkered loincloth, with his bare feet adorned with intricate body paint. His head is adorned with a large, elaborate headdress, made of feathers, shells, and other natural materials. The man is shown in an exterior setting, possibly in a jungle or rural environment, with a fruit in hand, perhaps symbolizing a moment of rest or relaxation. This engraving is an essential piece of ethnographic art from the 18th century, providing valuable insights into the clothing and cultural practices of the local people of the Coromandel Coast during this time. It is a testament to the rich heritage and diversity of the world's many cultures and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the past for future generations. The work was produced by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, two prominent French artists of the time, and is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's extensive collection. This beautiful and intriguing image continues to captivate and inspire, offering a unique window into the past and a reminder of the world's diverse and fascinating cultural traditions.
