Embroidered Sampler

Mary Davis American

Not on view

In the opening decades of the nineteenth century, Baltimore was a flourishing inland port and the city’s prosperity was marked by the building of fine town houses and large country seats. In this sampler a handsome three-bay brick house is stitched in three-quarter view with a precisely worked white picket fence and entrance gate surrounding the garden.
