EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Homme de Kaluga' (c1797) is an intriguing and captivating work of art by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length, hand-tinted engraving on paper depicts a bearded man from Kaluga, a region in present-day Russia, dressed in traditional clothing. The man is shown standing outside, gesturing towards his attire with a hand that adds an element of interaction and engagement to the image. The 'Homme de Kaluga' is a significant contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnography during the late 18th century. The meticulously detailed costume includes a brown coat, a hat adorned with a distinctive design, and boots featuring carriage boots. The man's facial hair is also noteworthy, adding to the authenticity and cultural significance of the portrait. This engraving, published in France, is a testament to the global curiosity and fascination with local people and their customs during this time. The 'Costumes de Différents Pays' series, of which 'Homme de Kaluga' is a part, aimed to document and preserve the diverse apparel and traditions of various countries. Today, this historic work of art is preserved and showcased at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of the past. The 'Homme de Kaluga' is a reminder of the importance of recording and appreciating the unique aspects of human history and diversity.
