Original Description:
Mid 19th century sampler by Mary Kemp aged 10 - 1862. Worked in cotton thread on gauze, this sampler is completely charming with neat stitch work throughout. The upper section of the gauze is stitched with four rows of alphabet letters, numbers and border patterns, whilst the middle section contains the following biblical quotation which has a row of spot motifs running down the right side
Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youthWhile the evil days come not nor the years dr...aw nighWhen thou shalt say I have had no pleasure in them
The lower section of the gauze is stitched at the centre with a large pheasant standing on a patch of grass with foliage behind him then flanked by a bird on a perch and a tree. There is a row of four spot motifs and a small bird above the pheasant with a fruit basket and two hearts to their left and a flower basket and two hearts to their right. Mary's details are stitched across the bottom edge - Mary Kemp finished this work April 18. 1862 aged 10 years - underlined with a meandering floral border.The gauze has minor overall discolouration, slightly darker in places, and the colours of the thread are good. The last photo is of the reverse of the sampler and indicates how the colours would have looked when Mary first stitched it. Measures 16" across x 15 1/4"
