132 F. Labrousse after Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (1757–1832) – Man of Tschatoky (Chukchi Man) – Hand-colored Engraving (1797)
This striking hand-colored engraving, titled "Homme de Tschatoky" (Man of Tschatoky, likely referring to the Chukchi people of Northeast Asia), was engraved by F. Labrousse after a design by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. Created in 1797, this print is part of a series documenting various world cultures and traditional attire, reflecting the ethnographic interest of the late 18th century. It depicts the figure in a dynamic pose, armed with a bow and arrow, and dressed in traditional clothing, offering a visual record of indigenous groups as perceived by European observers.
Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur (1757–1832) was a French diplomat, traveler, and prolific author, widely recognized for his illustrated works on world costumes and customs. His comprehensive compilations, such as "Tableaux des principaux peuples de l'Europe, de l'Asie, de l'Afrique, de l'Amérique" (1796-1797), aimed to document the diverse peoples of the world and were influential in shaping European perceptions of other cultures. F. Labrousse was a French engraver active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, frequently collaborating with artists and authors like Grasset de Saint-Sauveur to produce detailed plates for illustrated publications.
