EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Frontispice de l'Amérique' (Costumes of Different Countries, 'Frontispiece of America', c1797) is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, showcasing a Native American figure in full length, dressed in traditional attire. The hand-tinted engraving on paper depicts the subject wearing a colorful, plumed headdress, a long, fringed dress, and moccasin-style boots adorned with intricate beadwork. The figure carries a bow and arrow, and a quiver of arrows is slung over one shoulder. The setting is an outdoor scene, with a carriage boot and an arrow lying nearby. The lettering at the bottom of the image reads, 'Costumes de Different Pays' and 'Frontispice de l'Amérique'. Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur was a French artist and ethnographer who traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Americas, documenting the costumes and customs of various peoples. This image is believed to be from his publication, 'Costumes de Different Pays', which was one of the most influential works on the subject during the 18th century. The engraving is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Native American peoples and the fascination with the New World during this period. The Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Frontispice de l'Amérique' is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved for future generations to study and appreciate the historical significance of this important work.
