Original Description:
Mid 19th century memorial sampler - c.1850. Worked in wool on gauze, this sampler has been lovingly stitched, possibly by their mother, in memory of the four Baylis children who departed this earth between the years 1845 and 1849 with none of them surviving more than three years . The upper section of the gauze is stitched with a central funereal urn with a floral urn on either side with what could be a torch or horn above each entwined in foliage. There is a dove of peace above the ur...n with Time How Short to its left and Eternity How Long to its right. The middle section of the gauze is stitched with the following heartbreaking details of the passing of the four Baylis children
In memory ofL.C.Baylis who died May 1 1845 - Aged 1 YearH.F.Baylis died Dec 7 1845 - Aged 3 YearsF.H.Baylis died May 1 1847 - Aged 3 monthsW.H.Baylis died July 1 1849 - Aged 1 Year
The lower section of the gauze is stitched with the following verse
They are sleeping in Jesus - exalted their pleasureWhere the weary repose from the toil of the dayThey have enter'd on Christ's inexhaustible treasureTheir sorrow and troubles hath vanished awayThey are sleeping in Jesus we would not detain themFrom joys which already have burst on their sightFor to sojourn in flesh would assuredly pain themHaving passed from darkness to marvellous light
The words - In the midst of life we are in death - are stitched beneath the verse then the whole piece is surrounded by a meandering floral border. The gauze has overall brown discolouration consistent with its age, and the colours of the wool are good. The last photo is of the reverse of the sampler and indicates how the colours would have looked when it was first stitched. As can also be seen from the photographs, there are visible tack marks around the edges of the gauze from where the sampler has been tacked onto a stretcher or backing board at some point of time.Measures 14 1/4" x 16 1/2"
