Ann Taylor 1831 is a reproduction sampler that preserves the quiet charm of a nineteenth-century schoolgirl’s work. Ann completed her sampler on July 15, 1831, at just nine years old, carefully stitching rows of alphabets, numerals, narrow decorative bands, and small motifs before signing the piece with her name, age, and date. The result is both orderly and personal, a simple record of a young girl practicing the skills that formed an important part of her education.
The sampler includes several styles of lettering, separated by traditional bands and borders, with small motifs such as a basket, flower, heart, and bird worked into the design. Its restrained palette of rust, green, brown, blue, and ecru gives the piece the warm, aged character of an early nineteenth-century sampler while allowing the lettering and decorative details to remain the focus.
