With floral and bird adorned bordering the inscribed poem and family history in a nice gilt wood frame. Overall an exceptional example. They are rarely found signed and dated, with a poem, family tree and so elaborately bordered with flowers and birds.


The sampler reads, "This work perhaps my friends may have
When I am in my silent grave
And which when ever they chance to see
May kind reference picture me
While on the glancing canvas stands
The labour of my youthful hands
No other cares than this I knew
But perseverance brought me through

My Parents Robert & Elizabeth Roberts

My Brothers Abam P & Patt Roberts

Sarah Roberts work performed in the 13th year of her age Ano Domini 1813."
