EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases four exquisite embroidery sampler patterns designed for a work basket, adorned with delicate frills and tassels. Created by D. Sluyter in the 18th century, these handcoloured copperplate engravings are based on illustrations by Cornelis Borsteegh 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. Anna Barbara van Meerten, an educator and writer who played a pivotal role in advancing women's rights in Holland, curated this collection of patterns that celebrate the artistry of needlework. The intricate designs showcased here reflect both the skill and creativity required to produce such masterpieces. Beyond their functional purpose as samplers for work baskets, these patterns also serve as a testament to the rich tradition of Dutch craftsmanship. They embody not only the beauty of embroidery but also its significance within interior design and decoration during this period. As we admire these stunning works of art captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate how they represent more than just needlework – they symbolize women's empowerment and their contributions to various fields including literature and education. These patterns stand as reminders of the legacy left behind by pioneers like Anna Barbara van Meerten who paved the way for future generations of women artists and creators across Europe.
