Stephen & Carol Huber: 17th - 19th Century Needlework


Wellfleet, MA sampler by Maria Atwood from Stephen and Carol Huber

MARIA S. ATWOOD
Wellfleet, MA 1829

Maria, at aged 11, worked this family record sampler that included her parents and siblings birth dates and a memorial to her little sister Ruthy. It is inscribed at the bottom: Wrought by Maria S. Atwood aged 11 years A D 1829.

After she completed it, she added her new baby brother's name, Timothy, but her parents had three more children that are not included. She either ran out of room, or it was already framed, or she just got tired of fooling with it. She was about twenty years old when her last sibling arrived.

Silk on linen; 20" x 17" sight.
