The Temperance Movement of the early nineteenth
century began in the United States prior to 1808. Preachers, most notably
John Bartholomew Gough, promulgated a pledge of abstinence from members of
his congregation. While temperance efforts have existed as long as spirits
have, the movement was not as popular until this period of time, when the
use/misuse of distilled beverages became more pervasive in society,
affecting mostly women, as evidenced by the plaintive verse that Emma
stitched on her sampler:
The The original sampler is in the collection of The
Scarlet Letter. Stitches used are cross, over one and two threads of linen.
On 30 count linen, the finished sampler, like the original, will measure
15-3/4" x 12-1/4" It is recommended for beginning level needleworkers. |
