EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning perpetual calendar adorned with classical vignettes, depicting a graceful woman holding a cornucopia and a basket of flowers. The intricate handcoloured copperplate engraving by D. Sluyter is based on an illustration 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. The calendar itself is not only functional but also serves as a work of art. Each month and day of the week is meticulously crafted, adding elegance to any interior space. This piece reflects the rich heritage of Dutch culture and design. Anna Barbara van Meerten, an educator and pioneer in women's rights in Holland, was responsible for this remarkable creation. Her dedication to empowering women shines through her literary works and contributions to various fields such as furniture design, interior decoration, needlework, embroidery, drawing, and botanical art. As we admire this exquisite print captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such timeless pieces that combine practicality with artistic beauty. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can be transformed into works of art when infused with creativity and passion.
