EDITORS COMMENTS
Costumes de Différents Pays, 'Bouquetieres de St. Domingue' (1797) is an engraving by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, showcasing the distinctive attire of the inhabitants of Saint-Domingue, now Haiti, during the late 18th century. The image captures a group of men and women, each dressed in their traditional clothing, standing face to face, with a lush background of tropical plants and flowers. The women, adorned in vibrant, colorful dresses, wear elaborate headdresses made of flowers, while the men, dressed in simple, white shirts and pants, carry barrels on their shoulders. The barrels, a common means of transportation in the Caribbean, are filled with produce, likely for sale in the market. The engraving, titled 'Bouquetieres de St. Domingue,' or 'Flower Sellers of St. Domingue,' offers a glimpse into the daily life and cultural traditions of the people of this French colony. The hand-tinted engraving on paper, published in Paris, is a valuable historical and ethnographic record of the Caribbean during a pivotal time in its history. The full-length portraits of the individuals, captured in their natural setting, offer a sense of authenticity and intimacy, transporting us back to the 18th century. The image is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the Caribbean and its people.
