ELIZABETH NORRIS 1730 |
| TWO BAND SAMPLERS OF LETTERS | |
| Finely worked lettered samplers of the early 18th century, with essentially the lettering alone as the main element of design, evolved from the band samplers of the 17th century, and reflected on the increasing importance of literacy and education in the lives of young women. | |
