Susan Mumford stitched this neat and tidy American needlework sampler c. 1825-1835. She did not put a date on it, but she included 3 complete alphabets, 2 sets of numbers (1-7 and 1-15) and 2 short sayings: “Learning is the orname(n/)t of age” and “Let Virtue Be a Guide to Thee.” There is a zig-zag border along the top and 2 long sides, and Susan’s name is placed after the script alphabet toward the bottom. Sadly, no date or place. The sampler measures 7 ¾” x 11 ¼” (sight) and is framed in an appropriate contemporary frame, 8 ¾” x 12 ¼”. It is in excellent condition with no tears, holes, spots, etc. and the only “missing” stitches are in the unfinished stitched border at the very bottom, left. Most likely of American origin.
