EDITORS COMMENTS
This sampler, titled "Sampler, 1935/1942," is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of America's decorative arts scene. Created by the skilled hand of Elizabeth Valentine between the 18th and early 20th centuries, this intricate piece showcases a beautiful fusion of various artistic periods. The sampler is adorned with a colorful array of floral designs, geometric patterns, and lettering, reflecting the influence of both the 18th and 19th centuries. The vibrant, multicolored threadwork is reminiscent of the 18th century's ornate embroidery tradition, while the more modern, free-flowing floral patterns suggest the influence of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The sampler features a genre scene of a country landscape with animals grazing in a pasture, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to the piece. The lettering, which includes the inscription "Elizabeth Valentine, 1935/1942," is meticulously stitched in a neat, cursive script. This prayerful sampler, with its religious themes and decorative elements, is a reflection of the strong connection between art, craft, and religion in American culture during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a valuable addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This period item, with its intricate needlework and textile techniques, is a treasure for any art center, art gallery, or museum specializing in American decorative arts. It is a reminder of the rich cultural history that continues to inspire and influence contemporary artists and designers.
