REBECCA MORRIS 1787 |
|
This sampler is probably English, originally
worked on a fine glazed linen ground with silk flosses and human
hair. A four-sided border of honeysuckle and carnation surrounds
a pious verse. The lower third consists of a naive scene, where
humans and animals are larger than life. |
