Dames van Oranje - Oldenzaal, NL - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

"Zeven betonnen en voornamelijk oranje gekleurde vrouwenfiguren 'bekneld in strakke korsetten die rond 1900 vooral door rijke dames werden gedragen'.

Het kunstwerk staat op het terrein van de voormalige textielfabriek Oldenzaalsche Stoomweverij J.H. Molkenboer jr., die van 1892 tot 1904 onder leiding stond van Hermanna Molkenboer-Trip. Zij vond het strakke korset verderfelijk en ontwierp en leverde de soepele en wasbare Eurekastoffen. Voor het ondergoed maakte zij tricotstoffen."

"Seven concrete and mainly orange-colored female figures 'trapped in tight corsets that were mainly worn by wealthy ladies around 1900'.

The artwork is located on the site of the former textile factory Oldenzaalsche Stoomweverij J.H. Molkenboer Jr., who was led from 1892 to 1904 by Hermanna Molkenboer-Trip. She found the tight corset pernicious and designed and supplied the flexible and washable Eureka fabrics. She made tricot fabrics for the underwear."
