| Description |
English: A wide floral border with a dark blue ground divides the sampler in two. Above, alphabets, numerals and an inscription:
Mary Green Her Sampler Made in the Eleventh Year of Her Age 1766
Below, a verse:
Beauty and Pride We Often Find
Betrays the weakness of the Mind
He hansom [sic] is and merist prais [sic]
That Handsom dos the proverb Says
The loss of a father is great
But the loss of a Mother is more
But the loss of Christ is such a loss
As no man can restore.
Surrounded on four sides by a stylized strawberry vine border. |
