EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases exquisite models of vignettes featuring a goat, peacock, and stag for embroidered handkerchiefs. Created by D. Sluyter in the 18th century, these delicate designs were intended to adorn women's accessories with elegance and sophistication. Handcoloured copperplate engravings bring these enchanting illustrations to life, highlighting every intricate detail. The artist Cornelis Borsteegh played a significant role in bringing this vision to fruition. These vignettes were originally 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. Anna Barbara van Meertens herself was not only an educator but also a writer and pioneer of women's rights in Holland during that era. Her work aimed to empower women through literature and education. This remarkable piece of art reflects not only the skillful craft of embroidery but also its significance as an integral part of interior design and decoration during that time period. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on needlework as both an artistic expression and a practical form of self-expression. The inclusion of animals such as goats, peacocks, and stags adds a touch of nature's beauty into these designs while showcasing their versatility within various artistic mediums. This print is truly a treasure for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and historical artifacts from Europe's rich cultural heritage.
