EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Costumes of Different Countries," is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse, created around 1797. This full-length print depicts an indigenous Moluccan man from the Moluccas Islands in Indonesia. The Molucca Islands, located in the Maluku region of Eastern Indonesia, were a significant trade center during the 18th century, attracting Europeans seeking valuable spices. The Moluccan man is shown wearing traditional clothing, including a colorful, patterned loincloth, a hat adorned with feathers, and a necklace made of shells. He carries a bow and arrow, a common tool for hunting in the region. Intriguingly, he is accompanied by an elephant, a rare sight in the Moluccas, and a mahout, or elephant driver, who is dressed in a simple loincloth and a turban. This hand-tinted engraving on paper is a striking example of ethnographic art from the 18th century. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the local people of the Moluccas, providing valuable insights into their culture, traditions, and way of life. The print is a testament to the rich heritage of the region and the diverse array of cultures that existed during this period. Today, it is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire curiosity and fascination among visitors. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and historical significance of this print make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on anthropology, ethnography, or the history of fashion.
