This sampler is a fanciful adaptation of 19th century American and English sampler motifs. Fluffy white sheep are outstanding on a large green lawn that stretches between two elegant red brick houses that are flanked by flying eagles. Needlework pictures of this type can be considered as traditional samplers, using the definition of a sampler established by Ethel Stanwood Bolton and Eva Johnston Coe in American Samplers: A piece that is signed and dated by its creator.

Note from the designer - "Samplers depicting children - particularly such large children - are uncommon. Not only the children make this an outstanding sampler, but also the multi-floral border, the charming verse, the scene at the top with its menagerie of creatures, and the beautiful naturalistic rose at the center. The original sampler is English and was worked on a very fine tiffany."
