Racheal Kohler Samper
17 3/4 inches by 17 inches. Stitch-work sampler in a black and beaded gold frame. Hand-stitched on 100% linen, this beautiful sampler could be mistaken as an original. It is carefully antiqued and period framed to give a historic perception.
Girls were taught to embroider at an early age. They began embroidering letters from the alphabet and then colorful designs. Any girl that could not exhibit a sampler was considered very poorly educated. The samplers often formed the chief ornament of the sitting room or parlor.
