LORA TURNER |
|
Lora Turner's Sampler of 1830 comes from
the Hope R. Hacker Sampler Collection in the The Allentown Art Museum,
Allentown, Pennsylvania. Certainly of New England origin, a tavern
with its sign is pictured at the bottom of the sampler, with
a pair of birds in trees. Alphabet and numeral tests cover the
top two thirds. Beautiful in its simplicity and balance, it is
typical of a young girl's home-made (rather than school-made)
sampler. |
