Description
A pictorial needlework sampler by Mileah E. Franklin that illustrates the scenes from a young girl's life such as her home, trees, birds, livestock, sisters working in the fields, father hunting fox, poultry, etc, all surrounded by a strawberry border. The verse, " Thou canst not steal the rose's bloom to decorate thy face, but the sweet blush of modesty will lend an equal grace", is borrowed from a poem written by William B. Coale a Bucks County Quaker believed to be an assistant to the publisher of the Bucks County Bee around 1803. Measures 21 x 22.25 inches overall with a sight size of 17 x 18 inches. A period frame, if not the original.
