EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning ridicule or drawstring purse, delicately crafted from a net of woven horsehair. The intricate details and exquisite artistry are brought to life through the handcoloured copperplate engraving by D. Sluyter. This remarkable piece is featured in 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 pioneer in women's rights in Holland, curated this magazine as a platform for female empowerment and creativity. Alongside literature and writing contributions from renowned authors, she also celebrated various forms of artistic expression such as furniture design, interior decoration, needlework, embroidery, drawing, and even botanical art. The ridicule purse itself represents both craftsmanship and fashion during the 18th century. Its netted structure made from woven horsehair was not only visually appealing but also showcased the skillful techniques employed by artisans of that era. As we admire this extraordinary work of art captured within the print by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate its historical significance as well as its contribution to women's creative endeavors throughout history.
