Item Details
Description
  • Title: Frances Woodward’s Sampler, Whitefield ME
  • Provenance/Additional Info: A small and very tidy needlework sampler by Frances M. Woodward, Whitefield, Maine. Although the sampler is undated, it was stitched c. 1850: Frances was born in August, 1839 to Alfred Woodward and Caroline M. Wright Woodward. The sampler is 9” x 7 ¼” (Sight) and is framed in a period, if not original, wooden frame. Frances has stitched 3 alphabets, the numbers 1-9, and several initials. She also decorated the signature block with 2 very small pine trees. The sampler is in very fine condition: the stitching is neat and tidy and complete, the colors, especially the dark red and the green, are very strong, and the foundation high-quality linen. There are no rips, tears or holes, only a couple of faint spots (right above “Woodward” and in the “J” of the script alphabet just below the green, zig-zag line. I could find no record of Frances having married, but she did have an older sister and an older brother (a second brother died as a toddler). Both of her parents lived into their 80s and Frances died in 1902 (age 62) in Norfolk County, Massachusetts.
