HARRIOT BOARDMAN 1804 |
|
From Dover, Massachusetts, comes Harriot
Boardman's sampler, originally worked on a distinctive green
linsey-woolsey found only on some North Shore samplers. A three-sided
sawtooth border surrounds alphabet and numeral tests with geometric
cross bands, two deer with curiously short legs, and a pot of
springing daisies below. |
