Voyage Historique, authored by Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, is a notable work from the late 18th century that offers a vivid portrayal of various cultures and peoples from around the world. Published in 1786, this book is a significant example of the period's fascination with ethnography and the broader Enlightenment interest in cataloging and understanding the diversity of human societies. Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, a French diplomat, artist, and writer, utilized his experiences and observations to compile a richly illustrated volume that aimed to educate and entertain European audiences about distant lands and their inhabitants.

The work is renowned for its detailed and colorful engravings, which depict the traditional costumes, customs, and daily lives of people from different continents, including Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania. These illustrations are accompanied by descriptive texts that provide context and commentary, reflecting the author's perspective and the contemporary European views on these cultures. While the depictions are often romanticized and sometimes inaccurate by modern standards, they offer valuable insights into the period's ethnographic knowledge and artistic conventions.

Voyage Historique is also significant for its contribution to the genre of travel literature and its role in shaping European perceptions of the wider world during the Age of Enlightenment. The book's blend of visual and textual elements exemplifies the era's interdisciplinary approach to knowledge and its emphasis on empirical observation and documentation. Today, Voyage Historique is appreciated not only as a historical document but also as a work of art, with its illustrations continuing to captivate scholars and enthusiasts of cultural history and visual arts.
