EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate straw mat designed for either a coffeepot or candlestick. Created by the talented Dutch artist D. Sluyter in the 18th century, this handcoloured copperplate engraving is a true work of art. The illustration itself was originally crafted by Cornelis Borsteegh and featured in 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. The significance of this piece extends beyond its aesthetic appeal. Anna Barbara van Meerten, an esteemed educator and writer who championed women's rights in Holland during her time, played an instrumental role in its creation. This straw mat represents not only her dedication to promoting female empowerment but also serves as a testament to her contributions as a pioneer. With intricate needlework and exquisite embroidery on display, this artwork exemplifies the intersection between craft and artistry within interior design. Its inclusion alongside other literary works further emphasizes the importance of literature and storytelling within society. As we admire this stunning composition from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage found throughout Europe's Benelux countries. From furniture to botanical art, each element depicted here tells its own story while contributing to our collective appreciation for history and creativity.
