EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fragment of border from Flanders, dating back to the 1750s. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it stands as a testament to the artistic mastery of the 18th century. The intricate design of this decorative textile is truly awe-inspiring. A delicate floral pattern adorns the linen bobbin lace, which belongs to a specific type known as Brussels with a Droschel mesh ground. The craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate patterns using only thread and bobbins is nothing short of extraordinary. This fragment offers us a glimpse into the rich heritage art of Flanders and Flemish culture. It represents not only an object of beauty but also serves as a historical artifact that tells stories from centuries past. Its presence in one of the world's most renowned art galleries further solidifies its significance within the art world. As we admire this stunning piece through our own lens, we are reminded that there are countless anonymous artists throughout history whose work continues to captivate and inspire us today. This photograph allows us to appreciate their talent while preserving their legacy for generations to come.
