EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique and intricate candlestick made entirely of painted cardboard. Created by the talented D. Sluyter in the 18th century, this handcoloured copperplate engraving beautifully captures the delicate craftsmanship of this extraordinary piece. The artist, Cornelis Borsteegh, collaborated with Anna Barbara van Meerten for her renowned publication "Penelope, Or Maandwerk aan het Vrouwelijk Geslacht Toegewijd" (Penelope, Monthly Magazine dedicated to the Female Sex). Van Meerten was not only an educator and writer but also a pioneer in women's rights in Holland during that time. This artwork represents more than just a decorative item; it symbolizes the ingenuity and creativity of women throughout history. It is a testament to their ability to transform simple materials into stunning works of art. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image offers insights into various aspects of Dutch culture and society from that era. From literature and interior design to needlework and botanical art, it encapsulates different facets of life during that period. As we admire this remarkable candlestick made from painted cardboard, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can be transformed into masterpieces through skillful hands and imaginative minds.
