Harriet Herrick Linsey Woolsey Sampler c1820

Item Details

Description

Harriet Herrick stitched her sampler on green linen when she was 9 years old. This “Linsey-Woolsey” (so-called because of the green linen used) includes 3 alphabets, the numbers 1-10, Harriet’s name and age, a most elaborate border (especially for a 9 year old) and a inspirational religious verse: “Give me thy hear the Saviour cries, Justly he doth it claim. O do not then the call despise, but give it to the Lamb.” (This verse comes from “The Gospel Treasury,” a compilation of works by William Collier, Pastor of the Baptist Church in Charlestown, MA, 1811. The verses and sketches in the book are from The London Evangelical Magazine.). Harriet’s sampler is stitched (very neatly and very finely) in white and pink silk thread. It measures 9 ½” x 13 ½” (sight) and is framed in an old (and refinished) but probably not original empire frame (frame size is 12 ¼” x 16 ¼”). Harriet most likely lived in Northeastern Massachusetts or Southern New Hampshire, and made the sampler c. 1820. (There were several Harriet Herricks who lived in Andover & Gloucester at the time; without another data point, I could not hazard a guess as to which one, if any of them, was the maker of this needlework!). The sampler is in excellent original condition! Clean and very tidy, there are no stains, tears, holes, etc. The stitchwork is complete and precise. Not examined out of the frame.
