TWO SAMPLERS.
Anne Caldwell, attributed to Vermont, 1774, silk on linen. Twelve-year old Anne worked her name in large letters over a scene of sheep, and birds in trees. In a frame, 12 1/4"h. 9"w. And a marking sampler signed "Sarah Dutton, Aged 9 1843". 5 1/2"h. 8"w., in old gilt frame, 11 1/2"h. 13 1/2"w.


Condition: First sampler with unhemmed edges. Auction ad on reverse suggests it desended from the Col. Ebenezer Crafts family of Craftsbury, Vermont. The sawtooth backing on the second sampler appears to be 19th century.
