EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Differents Pays, 'Homme de l'Isle de Ste. Christine' (c1797) is an exquisite hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length image showcases a bare-chested man from the Isle of Ste. Christine, located in French Polynesia. The man is adorned with an array of accessories that reflect his indigenous heritage. He wears a grass skirt made from the leaves of local plants, which is tied around his waist with a colorful sash. A headdress made of feathers and shells sits atop his head, adding to his regal appearance. In his hand, he holds a club, a traditional weapon used for hunting and defense. The man's body is adorned with intricate tattoos, which were a significant part of the cultural identity of the people of the Isle of Ste. Christine. The engraving is hand-colored, adding depth and vibrancy to the image. The background of the image shows an exterior scene, with lush greenery and exotic fruits scattered around, further emphasizing the tropical location. The man's pose is confident and proud, reflecting the strong connection he has with his land and culture. This historic artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of French Polynesia and the importance of preserving and celebrating the diversity of global traditions. The Costumes de Differents Pays series by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse is a valuable contribution to the fields of ethnography and ethnology, providing a glimpse into the lives and customs of people from different parts of the world during the 18th century.
