  |
|
|
c. 1870, Sampler, Signed "Mary E. Flower," Prayer Verse and Text, Choice Extremely Fine.
|
This is an original, larger size, nicely detailed sampler which is framed under glass to 25" x 22" in size. Featuring a central composition of cursive alphabet letters, upper and lower block alphabet letters, numerals, geometric patterns, a flower pot and a homestead, and a short prayer verse:
"Lord permit thy gracious name to stand / At the first effort of a loving hand / As her fingers over the canvass [sic] move / Engage her tender heart to seek thy love."
This early Sampler is Signed in pink and golden-brown thread, "Mary E. Flower". The entire composition is embroidered with an interlocking leaf and floral design. A nice range of colored threads are evident, expertly stitched against a plain ochre colored background, which has been left blank. A beautiful example reflective of the masterful, artistic maker. |
