EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Prince et Princesse Maurea' (1797) is a captivating and intriguing hand-tinted engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This stunning work of art, created during the late 18th century, offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse cultural traditions of North Africa. The image features a prince and princess, elegantly dressed in the traditional attire of the Maurean people, who inhabited the region of modern-day Mauritania. The prince, dressed in a flowing robe of green color, adorned with intricate geometric patterns, wears a tall, conical headdress that adds to his regal appearance. The princess, dressed in a full-length gown of similar green hue, is adorned with a headscarf and a lavish headdress, adorned with beads and other decorative elements. The background of the image showcases the arid desert landscape of North Africa, with its rolling sand dunes and sparse vegetation. The prince and princess are depicted standing in front of a rocky outcropping, adding to the sense of isolation and mystery that surrounds their culture. This engraving, which is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich ethnographic and anthropological heritage of Africa. It offers a unique insight into the clothing and fashion traditions of a people who have long been a subject of fascination for Europeans and other outsiders. The intricate details of the costumes, the vibrant colors, and the exotic location make this a must-see piece of art for anyone interested in the history and culture of Africa and the wider world.
