EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Sauvage de la Terre de Natal' (1797) is an intriguing and captivating 18th-century engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur and LF Labrousse. This full-length image showcases a male figure from the Kwazulu Natal region of South Africa, dressed in traditional attire. The man is depicted standing in an exterior setting, with a lush, green background suggesting a tropical climate. He wears a simple cloak made of animal skin, adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. The man's bare feet are covered in grass, and he holds a bow and arrow in his hands, suggesting his role as a hunter in his community. The engraving, titled 'Sauvage de la Terre de Natal,' translates to 'Savage of Natal,' which reflects the European perspective of the time towards indigenous peoples. However, the image is not derogatory in nature, but rather an accurate representation of the clothing and customs of the local people. The figure is depicted with dignity and respect, and the attention to detail in the clothing and accessories is remarkable. The image is hand-tinted, adding vibrant colors to the engraving and enhancing the overall visual appeal. The head dress and headdress are adorned with feathers and other natural materials, adding to the authenticity of the depiction. The figure's body paint and the intricate designs on his clothing further emphasize the rich cultural heritage of the people of Kwazulu Natal. This historic artwork, which is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is an important ethnographic and anthropological resource. It provides valuable insights into the clothing, customs, and cultural practices of indigenous peoples in Africa during the 18th century. The image is a testament to the rich diversity of human culture and the importance of preserving and celebrating our heritage.
