Notes

"This sampler was worked in 1724 by the eldest daughter of the Holyoake family who lived in England - Cornwall and the sampler was brought to New Zealand by Richard Holyoake, born 2nd June 1808 who arrived here on the ship `Indus' on 6th Feb. 1843. It passed - to Mrs L H E Sjoberg - whose mother was Evelyn Clara Holyoake, sister to Conrad Victor Holyoake, the father of Sir Keith Holyoake."

The earliest surviving samplers are long, narrow records of pattern and needle lace techniques stitched by adults in the 17th century. The earliest sampler in the Museum collection is an excellent example of a transitional English band sampler as it changes to being a record of learning as well as of skill. It includes alphabets and verses as patterns, retains decorative bands, showcases stitch techniques, but excludes needle lace.
