Diligence, Industry and
Virtue: Samplers and Historic Embroideries
This newest 2002
exhibition catalog from Witney Antiques in
England chronicles 300 years of
samplermaking. It leads us away from the
usual
perception of samplers as merely decorative
art. Many verses on samplers reflect the
perceived feminine ideal, illustrating the
traditional values
and virtues taught from early childhood to
young womanhood. The exhibition runs from
October 14th until November 2nd. The
earliest examples date from the 17th
century, a journey ending over 100 years
ago. All the samplers are unique, and the
fact that often very young children were
able to produce such painstaking and
exacting work is indeed remarkable. 50 full
color illustrations, paper, $25.00
