This work was started and not completed as you can see a faint cross stick outline of the intended needle point. Half the letters on the second line are not done, as are half on the 4th line (one can see a letter half way completed). The 7th and 9th lines are not done at all and the last line is also a partial. When one looks closely at the last 4 characters of the last line one can clearly make out 1861, which is consistent with the period frame and wear to the piece. This is the first sampler that we have come across to be not be completed. Despite these interesting facts someone back in the 29th century decided that this was an incredibly moving work of art enough to have it professionally framed an a nice period oggi wood frame with the original J. H. Miller Co. Inc Springfield Mass label. This piece would make and interesting conversation piece addition to any fine collection. ****NOTE: Email for larger images.
