IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 110773 accession number: T.42-1938 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Monday 20 July 2020 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Woollen sampler embroidered with polychrome silks in cross, satin and stem stitch. The edges are bound with pink ribbon, the whole sampler is backed with cotton sateen which is all of later date. A conventional strawberry border frames free-style embroidery with the pictorial element worked in a needle painting technique. The pictorial pattern includes ribboned baskets, delicate rosebuds, a beehive and a pastoral scene of a male and female figure flanked by trees. The inscription within a wreath reads ' Mary brooks/Finish'd this Sampler/in the Year 1792.' The verse inscription is a transcription of Song 20 from Dr Isaac Watts' 'Divine and Moral Songs for Children'. The song however is not correctly arranged on the sampler and reads as follows:' How doth the little busy bee improve each Shining hour, And gather honey all the day From every open flower: How skilfully She builds her cell. How neat She Spreads the wax; And labours hard to store it well, With the Sweet food she makes. In works of labour or of skill I would be busy too; For Satan finds Some mischief still for idle hands to do. in books or work, or healthful play, Let my first years be past, that I may give every day, Some good account at last.'. object type: Bordered sampler worked in polychrome silks and edged with a pink ribbon. The sampler depicts an inscription which is a transcription of Song 20 from Dr Isaac Watts' 'Divine and Moral Songs for Children', a pastoral scene and a strawberry border. title: sampler LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts creditline: Bequeathed by Mrs H.A.
