This striking sampler uses traditional
18th and 19th century sampler motifs: multiple borders of strawberries,
bands and a sawtooth edge. The naive, elongated house and trees
are typical of early samplers. The alphabet is based on one illustrated
in The Instructor,
or American Young Man's Best Companion, Improved (Philadelphia, 1812). |
