1851 Alphabet Sampler by Jane Graham.
Victorian, dated 1851. 8ins by 10.75ins. 1851 Alphabet Sampler by Jane Graham.
Framed in a modern wood frame with modern, frosted glass. Loose mounted onto a chipboard backing.
The sampler has alphabets A-Z in uppercase and lower case with numbers 1-13.
Signed and dated ''Jane Graham finished this Sampler December 1851".
Zig zag border and divider lines in a number of patterns.
The sampler is worked in fine wool thread throughout.
Red, cream, blue, green, orange and pink colour threads used.
CONDTION: Slightly distressed.
No holes. Uniform darkening of the backing canvas.
A couple of stitch losses to letters of the alphabets and numbers, illustrated.
Colours are slightly faded, but still well defined.
No colour run. No stretching.
Frame has very slight wear, not detracting, illustrated,
is otherwise sound and in my opinion ready to hang.
