EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique and imaginative design for a derelict house made entirely of cardboard, specifically created to store pastilles. Created by the talented Van Houtman in the 18th-19th century, this lithograph beautifully captures the intricate details of this unconventional structure. The inspiration behind this extraordinary creation stems from Anna Barbara van Meertens' 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 in women's rights in Holland. This artwork is more than just an architectural concept; it represents the fusion of various artistic disciplines. It combines elements of literature, furniture design, interior decoration, needlework embroidery, drawing techniques, and even botanical art. The delicate craftsmanship displayed within this piece highlights the artist's attention to detail and their ability to transform everyday materials into something extraordinary. The roof and lid constructed with precision using cardboard demonstrate both practicality and creativity. As we admire this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art can transcend boundaries and challenge conventional norms. This remarkable work serves as a testament to human ingenuity while celebrating the rich history of Dutch culture and its contributions to literature, craftmanship, and design.
