EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Nobles Moderne et Ancien du Pérou' (1797) by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse is an intriguing and captivating work of art that showcases the grandeur and diversity of Peruvian noble attire from both ancient and modern eras. This stunning full-length engraving, hand-tinted on paper, was produced in France during the late 18th century and is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection. The image features a noble Peruvian couple, both adorned in elaborate costumes. The man, a nobleman, wears a voluminous cape, a cloak draped over his shoulders, and a tall, ornate hat. His attire is a rich tapestry of colors, with reds, greens, and yellows dominating the design. In his hand, he holds a fruit, possibly a pineapple, symbolizing the exotic riches of the New World. The woman, a noblewoman, is equally resplendent in her attire. She wears a long, flowing dress with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Her headdress is adorned with feathers and flowers, adding to her regal appearance. The exterior setting of the image, with its lush greenery and clear blue sky, further emphasizes the exotic and idyllic nature of the scene. This engraving, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays' or 'Costumes of Different Countries,' is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Peru and the fascination that the New World held for Europeans during the colonial era. It is an important work of ethnography and anthropology, providing a glimpse into the lives and customs of the indigenous peoples of South America and their interactions with European nobility.
