Sampler c. 1936

"Sampler" (c. 1936) by Henry Meyers (1855-1995) is a classic example of needlework art. The sampler displays an alphabet in both uppercase and lowercase, numerals, and decorative designs in a colorful array of stitches, likely created by a young girl practicing her embroidery skills. The use of cross stitch and other traditional techniques, as well as the inclusion of a dated inscription, make this a particularly charming example of the sampler genre.
