"Ancient and Modern Peruvian Warriors" is a work by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, an 18th-century French writer, diplomat, and artist known for his ethnographic studies and illustrations. This particular work is part of a larger series in which Grasset de Saint-Sauveur sought to document the dress and customs of various peoples around the world, with a focus on both historical and contemporary figures as understood in his time.

The work typically features engravings or illustrations that depict the attire, weapons, and sometimes the practices of warriors from different periods in Peruvian history. These images are often accompanied by descriptive text providing context and details about the subjects portrayed. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's interest in the exotic and the diverse cultures of the world was reflective of the Enlightenment's broader fascination with categorization and understanding of the human condition across different societies.

As an artist and ethnographer, Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's depictions were influenced by the European imagination and colonial perspectives of the era, which can be seen in the romanticized and sometimes inaccurate portrayals of the subjects. His works, including "Ancient and Modern Peruvian Warriors," are valuable not only for their artistic merit but also for their representation of European perceptions of non-European peoples during the late 18th century.

The illustrations from this work, like many of Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's, have been reproduced in various forms and continue to be of interest to historians, art enthusiasts, and those studying the evolution of ethnographic representation. Despite the potential inaccuracies and biases inherent in these depictions, they remain an important resource for understanding the interplay between art, culture, and imperialism at the close of the 18th century.
