Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Ruffle, Mary. Cross stitch sampler dated October 25, 1815, documents the integration of literacy and needlework in early nineteenth-century girls' education in the United States. Created by a nine-year-old student, the sampler records the instructional practice through which young girls demonstrated proficiency in both reading and fine needlework within domestic and academy settings. Alphabet samplers functioned as exercises in memorization and discipline, reinforcing gendered expectations of education that emphasized refinement, order, and domestic skill alongside basic literacy. The object supports research into women's education, childhood instruction, and the material culture of early American schooling. Ruffle, Mary. Needlework sampler. United States, October 25, 1815. Textile work measuring approximately 11.5" x 15", executed in cross stitch. The composition includes uppercase and lowercase alphabets, the ampersand, and numbers one through eight, framed by a decorative border. The lower register is inscribed: "Mary Ruffle October 25 1815 Aged 9." Decorative motifs include trees, vines, flowers, and a crown, rendered in colored threads including navy, orange, pink, dark green, brown, and white. The arrangement reflects common pedagogical formats used in female academies and home instruction during the period. Produced at a time when formal educational opportunities for girls were expanding but remained closely tied to domestic training, samplers such as this served both as instructional tools and as records of accomplishment. Families often displayed these works as evidence of a daughter's education and refinement, linking needlework to social identity and household status. Surviving examples provide insight into curriculum, aesthetic conventions, and the lived experience of young girls in early nineteenth-century America, and have since become important artifacts in museum and archival collections documenting women's history. Moderate toning; minor thread fraying; overall in very good condition. …
