This sampler, created in 1938 by Alfred Walbeck, showcases a traditional embroidery practice. It displays the alphabet, numbers, and a simple design. The inscription indicates that this was created by Eunice W. Cook at the age of ten in 1813, making this a piece of needlework that has been passed down for generations. Samplers like these were often created by young girls as a way to learn needlework skills and to document important information about the creator.
