1809 SAMPLAR

I have little information about this antique samplar which was stitched in 1809, I found it at a antique center rolled up and stuffed in a corner box, there is no name on this samplar and the antique one had a rusty needle at the bottom that I took off, but when reproduced I put the needle in the same place as the antique one.

The reproduction was stitched on 30 Mugglestone linen with DMC threads, the stitch count on
this design is 88w X 197h
