Price family memorial
Worked by Fanny Price
Falmouth, MA c.1805
This graphic and charming silk embroidered memorial was stitched by Frances (Fanny) Price at aged 15 while attending
school. It depicts a monument with 5 urns honoring her deceased siblings.
The standing young lady that no doubt represents tearful Fanny is flanked with trees and estates. Note the three
houses in the background that are barely visible.
It is inscribed:

back retains its original mounting ribbons.
