Item Details

Description

A clean and complete marking sampler by Elisa I Strong of Bridport, Vermont, c. 1825. Probably her first attempt at needlework, this silk on linen sampler Elisa’s name and town, 3 complete alphabets (note the backwards “z” in the lower case alphabet), and the numbers 1-10. It measures 10 ¾” x 9 ¾” and is archivally framed in a contemporary frame that measures 14 ¼” x 13 ¼”. Very fine condition: clean with no stains, rips, tears, etc. Despite trying, I could not locate an Elisa Strong in Bridport, a small town in Western Vermont, about ½ way between Burlington and Rutland.
