Ann's details are stitched beneath the verse - Ann Hargate finished this work Dec 13 1824. Aged 9 Years Seven Months - then the whole piece is surrounded by a deep floral border .The gauze has overall discolouration consistent with its age, slightly darker around the edges, and the colours of the thread are good with some small areas of stitch loss in the outer border. The last photo is of the reverse of the sampler and indicates how the colours would have looked when Ann first stitched it. As can also be seen from the photographs, there are visible tack marks around the edges from where the sampler has been tacked onto a stretcher or backing board at some point of time. PLEASE NOTE - This is a fairly large sampler measuring 22 1/2" across x 21 1/2"
