EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning sampler, created by Elizabeth Clarke in Canada in 1838, showcases the intricate art of needlework from the 19th century. The piece, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the rich heritage of Canadian art and the skillful hands of its creator. The sampler, embroidered with wool yarns in Algerian eye cross and rice stitches, features a colorful array of floral motifs, each meticulously designed and executed. The background fabric is a linen plain weave, providing a crisp and elegant canvas for the intricate needlework. Elizabeth Clarke's mastery of embroidery techniques is evident in the varied textures and patterns, from the delicate silk threads used to outline the flowers to the bold, wool stitches used to fill in the petals and leaves. The sampler's design is a reflection of the artistic traditions of the time, with its focus on geometric and floral patterns. The sampler is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and the lives of those who created such intricate pieces. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to preserve and display this important piece of Canadian heritage, showcasing the beauty and skill of 19th-century needlework.
