About the Item
The three verses Barbara stitched onto her sampler were used by many 19th century schoolgirls. "This work in hand my friends may have / When I am dead and In my grave," contrasts well with the two other verses of remembrance, juxtaposing the charm and vibrancy of the young girl's composition.
Worked in wool on linen, the sampler is in excellent condition with one minor area of loss to the wool on a tree trunk. It has been conservation mounted and in a fine figured maple and cherry frame.
