EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a piece of history in the form of a Sampler with the Alphabet, meticulously worked by 13-year-old Rachel Folkard in 1823. The delicate silkwork showcases her skill and dedication to the craft of embroidery, with each letter carefully stitched onto the fabric. The scene depicted on the sampler includes trees, a child, and even a deer, adding whimsy and charm to this traditional textile art form. Rachel's attention to detail is evident in every stitch, from the intricate cross stitch patterns to the fine silk threads used throughout. As we admire this beautiful piece created over two centuries ago, we are transported back in time to a simpler era when children like Rachel spent hours perfecting their needlework skills. The house motif at the center of the sampler symbolizes home and family, reminding us of the love and care that went into creating such pieces. This print serves as a testament to Rachel's talent and creativity at such a young age. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage through art and craftsmanship for future generations to appreciate.
