EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme Mordwine' (c1797) is an intriguing and captivating engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This 18th-century masterpiece showcases the distinctive attire of a man from Mordovia, Russia, a region that was then part of the French Empire. The image, published in Paris, offers a glimpse into the diverse and rich cultural heritage of the time. The full-length portrait presents the man, identified as 'Homme Mordwine,' standing outdoors, with a serene expression and a balanced posture. He is dressed in the traditional clothing of his people, which includes a green tunic, a wide-brimmed hat, and a long, colorful sash. The man carries a large object on his head, which could be a basket or a container, adding to the sense of utility and practicality. The engraving, hand-tinted in green and other colors, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the creators. The intricate details of the man's clothing, the texture of his hat, and the natural surroundings all come to life through the delicate use of color. The image is a remarkable example of ethnographic documentation from the era, providing a valuable record of the clothing and customs of local peoples from around the world. Today, this historic artwork is preserved at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich and varied history of human culture. The image of 'Homme Mordwine' serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique traditions and customs of different communities, both past and present.
