William Curtis 1826 - Reproduction Sampler Pattern by Hands Across the Sea Samplers hemp Weeks Dye Works in MascaraStitched in 1826 by a boy of just nine years of age, this eye catching sampler challenges expectation. It speaks not only of skill, but of discipline, patience, and quiet determination.
