A Stitch in Time: 18th & 19th Century Children’s Samplers Closes
Saturday, January 12, 2008.
Almost as long as there has been cloth to sew on, industrious women have embroidered designs. The 17th century became a golden age of samplers, and a profusion of designs inspired by the exotic fruits and trade goods brought from the Orient, as well as the newly published and lavishly illustrated natural history books. Such pictorial samplers were especially popular in England and the Americas. By the 18th century Needlework became the principle medium for educating girls.
