Item Details
Description
This small, Linsey-Woolsey sampler measures only 7 ¼” x 10” (sight); frame size 8 ¾” x 11 ½”. It was stitched in 1806 by Emma Smith, probably from NE Massachusetts or Southern New Hampshire. It includes 3 alphabets, the numbers 1-17 and a inspirational thought (“Education forms the tender mind”), in addition to Emma’s name and the 1806 date. Emma stitched her alphabet and numbers in light-colored silk thread (white/cream color and pink) and her name and the verse at the bottom in red (making it difficult to read, but it is all there!). The sampler is in very fine, restored condition: there are some scattered small holes that are barely visible because of the excellent restoration and the green backing; they do not affect the stitching, only the green linen backing. Otherwise, the sampler is complete and has been carefully framed in a contemporary gold frame.
