EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Costumes de Différents Pays,' or 'Costumes of Different Countries,' is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, produced around 1797. The image showcases an African man from Senegal, identified as 'Negre du Senegal.' Dressed in traditional attire, he is depicted standing outdoors, leaning against a tree, and wearing a striped tunic, shorts, and a conical hat. The intricate detailing of the costume, hand-tinted in rich colors, is a testament to the artist's meticulous craftsmanship. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur was a renowned French artist and ethnographer, known for his extensive work on the costumes and customs of various peoples from around the world. This print is part of a larger series, which aimed to document and preserve the diverse fashion traditions of different continents. The 'Costumes de Différents Pays' series was published in Paris during the late 18th century, a time when European interest in anthropology and ethnology was at an all-time high. The man in this print, with his strong profile and steady gaze, exudes a sense of dignity and pride. His traditional Senegalese costume, with its vibrant colors and distinctive design elements, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of West Africa. Today, this historic print is housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire curiosity and fascination among visitors. The 'Negre du Senegal' print is a valuable addition to LACMA's extensive collection of historic art and ethnographic materials, and serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of preserving the world's diverse cultural traditions.
