Item Details
Description
A very neat and tidy American Quaker Needlework Sampler by Eleanor Carson, dated 1830. Although I have not been able to find any hard proof, I believe this to be by Eleanor Carson of Carsonville, Grayson County, Virginia (South-Central VA, right on the North Carolina border). There was a large Quaker meeting in Carsonville in the 19th century. This sampler, which has the typical Quaker alphabet and numerous Quaker motifs. In addition to the main verse, title "An Extract", there is a fainter, more familiar phrase that schoolgirls frequently used in their samplers: "When you see this, remember me." The sampler measures 16" x 17" (sight) and is framed in a simple, contemporary wooden frame (17 Âľ" x 18 Âľ"). It is in very fine condition with no holes, tears or missing stitches. There is some light bleeding around the darker letters, but nothing distracting.
