ANN BORTON Ann worked this unique beautifully designed graphic sampler using carnations, columbines, and roses to enhance her meandering vine borders. The symmetry of the couples, birds, and butterflies grounded by a house and a centered cartouche topped with a lone squirrel is very appealing. The sampler is inscribed: Ann Borton New Jersey/ 1820 below a beautiful verse intended to nurture a deeper sensitivity and reverence for nature, life, and death.
