A Maryland Sampling: Girlhood Embroidery 1738-1860 presents for the first time an extraordinary assemblage of Maryland samplers and pictorial embroideries that will appeal to scholars, collectors, and modern day embroiderers. Students of women's history, the decorative arts, and Maryland history will discover more about the role of needlework in early female education and in the lives of ordinary women in the changing currents of Chesapeake regional history. Modern day embroiderers will find inspiration in their designs, and genealogists will gain valuable insights into Maryland families and their migration patterns. Collectors and antiques dealers, too, have long awaited a comprehensive study of Maryland needlework.
