Description
ELIZA BOWER (BRITISH / AMERICAN) PICTORIAL NEEDLEWORK SAMPLER, silk on linen, eight alphabet and numeral rows above a lower panel with "Eliza Bower / Fulneck / 1808" flanked by flower baskets and stylized trees, all within a Greek-key border. Housed under glass in an old frame. 1808. 13" x 11 1/2" sight, 14" x 12 1/2" OA.
Scattered fading to elements. Some light toning and staining / discoloration to linen ground. Frame with minor wear. Not examined out of frame.
Provenance: From a private Winchester, VA collection.
Catalogue Note: Fulneck is a small English village currently within the metropolitan limits of Leeds, West Yorkshire. Settled in 1744 by members of the Moravian Church fleeing persecution on the Continent, the newly established village in the northern countryside quickly grew, and schools for girls and boys were established within a few years of initial occupation. It is possible that the present example was completed at the Fulneck Moravian School by Eliza Bower during her term there.
