"Acadian Woman" is an illustration by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French Canadian ethnographer and writer, known for his depictions of various peoples and their traditional costumes from around the world. The illustration is part of a larger body of work that aims to document the dress and customs of different cultures during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's work is characterized by its detailed and often colorful representations, which serve as valuable historical records of the period's cultural diversity.

The image of the Acadian Woman is particularly significant as it represents the attire and appearance of a woman from the Acadian community, a group of French colonists who settled in the Maritime provinces of Canada and parts of the American Northeast, including what is now Maine. The Acadians were subjected to the Great Expulsion (Le Grand Dérangement) by the British in the mid-18th century, which makes this illustration an important visual document of a people who faced significant upheaval and displacement.

In the illustration, the Acadian Woman is typically depicted in the traditional clothing of the time, which may include a bonnet, a full skirt, and an apron, reflecting the practical needs and modesty of women in this rural, agrarian society. The image not only provides insight into the fashion of the period but also contributes to the understanding of Acadian identity and heritage.

Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's work, including the "Acadian Woman," is valuable for historians, anthropologists, and art historians, offering a glimpse into the cultural fabric of the late 18th-century world. His illustrations are often found in his encyclopedic collections, such as "Encyclopédie des voyages" (Encyclopedia of Travels), which includes descriptions and engravings of the customs, costumes, and traditions of peoples from various parts of the globe.
