EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a wooden square work table with a beautifully painted top and intricate homemade fringe. The image, captured by D. Sluyter in the 18th century, depicts a piece of furniture that exudes both charm and functionality. The handcoloured copperplate engraving was created by Sluyter after an illustration by Cornelis Borsteegh for 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. Van Meerten herself was an influential educator, writer, and pioneer in women's rights in Holland. In this visually stunning composition from the Netherlands, we see the craftsmanship of firwood transformed into a versatile work table. The timber is meticulously carved and shaped to create an elegant square structure that serves as both functional furniture and artistic decor. The painted top adds vibrancy to the piece with its delicate brushstrokes depicting botanical art or perhaps even scenes from daily life. Meanwhile, the homemade fringe adorning its edges brings warmth and texture to this exquisite creation. This print not only captures a snapshot of Dutch history but also celebrates women's work and craft during that era. It serves as a reminder of how interior design elements like needlework, embroidery, drawing, and furnishing were integral parts of creating beautiful living spaces. With its rich cultural significance and timeless appeal, this image invites us to appreciate the fusion of artistry and practicality found within historical furniture pieces like this wooden square work table.
