EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays, Paysanne de Zurich' by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, dates back to the late 18th century, specifically the 1790s. The image showcases an agricultural laborer, or 'Paysanne de Zurich,' from Switzerland, in a full-length, hand-tinted engraving on paper. The laborer is depicted in her traditional attire, which includes a long, full skirt, a high-waisted bodice, and a colorful apron. She is holding a large basket on her back, a common accessory for farmers and agricultural workers. The print is part of the 'Costumes de Differents Pays' series, which aimed to document and preserve the diverse clothing styles and customs of various countries and continents. This particular image provides a fascinating glimpse into the agricultural life of Europe during the 18th century. The intricately detailed engraving reveals the rich textures and colors of the laborer's clothing, which would have been hand-colored or hand-tinted to bring the image to life. The exterior setting further emphasizes the rural, agricultural context of the scene. This historic artwork, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers valuable insights into the lives of local people and their occupations during a significant period in European history. The 'Paysanne de Zurich' image is a testament to the importance of ethnography and anthropology in understanding the cultural heritage and diversity of the past.
