Summary and Description included:

The earliest samplers were reference works for embroiderers. They showed ’samples‘ of patterns and stitches and recorded how to achieve particular effects. In Europe in the 17th century samplers provided instruction and practice for girls learning needlework. By the 18th century samplers were used to show more than just needlework skills. This sampler dated 1811 is a rare example of astronomy in a needlework exercise. It shows the planets of the solar system, their relationships to the sun, and the ‚Orbit of the Comet‘.

Wool sampler embroidered with silk; English, 1811.
