EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artistry of embroidered muslin purses from the 18th century. The models, beautifully depicted in handcoloured copperplate engravings by D. Sluyter after an illustration by Cornelis Borsteegh, are a testament to the skill and creativity of their creators. The designs featured on these purses are nothing short of mesmerizing. A landscape adorned with cows, birds, butterflies, crosses, and lattice patterns creates a harmonious blend of nature and geometry. Each element is meticulously crafted to perfection, showcasing the attention to detail that went into every stitch. These purses were not just functional accessories; they were works of art that reflected the fashion trends and artistic sensibilities of their time. They served as a canvas for expression and showcased the talent and imagination of their makers. Anna Barbara van Meerten's Penelope magazine dedicated to women's interests played a significant role in promoting such crafts during this period. Van Meerten herself was an educator, writer, and pioneer in women's rights in Holland. This print offers us a glimpse into history - it takes us back to an era when needlework was considered both a craft and an art form. It reminds us of the importance placed on interior design and decoration during this time period. Through this image, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance behind these embroidered muslin purses – objects that seamlessly blended practicality with artistic expression.
