Georgina Taylor Sampler

An early 19th century sampler worked by Georgina Taylor.

Sewn in fine woollen threads much of it is embroidered in cross stitch, but with some eye-catching Algerian Eye stich for the alphabet worked as capital letters.The colour scheme and style of embroidery of this sampler has a Scottish (or North of England) 'feel' to it.

This sampler has be conserved by being hand sewn onto a natural linen which has been backed with conservation grade mount board before being replaced in its frame.
