Embroidered Sampler 1827

This sampler, created by Barbara Landis in 1827, is a fine example of needlework art from the 19th century. It showcases a traditional house motif with a red roof and brick walls, surrounded by stylized floral designs and a sampler of letters and other designs. The inscription at the bottom indicates that the sampler was completed on June 18, 1827, showcasing the dedication and skill of the young needlewoman. The use of red, black, and green thread against a cream background contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal of this delicate artwork, demonstrating the artistry of the sampler maker.
