EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning model for a ridicule or small drawstring bag, created by the talented artist Sluyter in the 18th century. The bag is made of painted taffeta with an exquisite giraffe pattern, adorned with classical scenes featuring women holding embroidered screens, sheep, and laurel wreaths. This copperplate engraving by D. Sluyter was inspired by an illustration from Anna Barbara van Meertens' groundbreaking work "Penelope, Or Maandwerk aan het Vrouwelijk Geslacht Toegewijd" (Penelope, Monthly Magazine dedicated to the Female Sex), published in Amsterdam in 1821. Van Meerten herself was not only an educator and writer but also a pioneer in women's rights in Holland. Her influence can be seen through this intricate piece of art that combines elements of craftwork, interior design, needlework, and botanical artistry. The detailed embroidery and delicate drawings on this ridicule bag exemplify the skillful craftsmanship of its time. It serves as a testament to the creativity and dedication of artists like Cornelis Borsteegh who contributed to Van Meerten's publication. This print transports us back to a time when fashion accessories were not just functional but also works of art. It reminds us of the rich history behind everyday objects and celebrates the contributions made by female writers and artists throughout Europe.
