EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of craftsmanship from the 18th-19th century. The image features a stunning necklace, earrings, and a cross meticulously woven with human hair. Handcoloured to enhance its beauty, this copperplate engraving by A. Lutz is based on an illustration by Cornelis Borsteegh. The artwork originates from Anna Barbara van Meertens' renowned publication "Penelope, Or Maandwerk aan het Vrouwelijk Geslacht Toegewijd" (Penelope, Monthly Magazine dedicated to the Female Sex), published in Amsterdam in 1821. Van Meerten was not only an educator and writer but also a pioneer for women's rights in Holland. This exquisite creation exemplifies the fusion of artistry and functionality prevalent during that era. It reflects the intricate needlework, embroidery techniques, and attention to detail that were highly valued in interior design and decoration at the time. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this piece represents more than just jewelry; it symbolizes women's work as well as their role as artists and creators. Its presence serves as a testament to the talent and skill possessed by female artisans during this period. As we admire this exceptional example of craftmanship captured through botanical artistry by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how historical artifacts can provide us with insights into both artistic expression and societal values throughout different periods in history.
