Hobby House Press | Reflections On Early 19th Century Samplers - Mary Ann Baker 1843

Introducing Mary Ann Baker 1843. The third in the series from Hobby House Press - Reflections On Early 19th Century Samplers

The Reflections on Early 19th Century Samplers series looks beyond the genealogy of the stitcher. Instead, each sampler becomes a doorway into the lives of women and girls during the early nineteenth century—what they were taught, what was expected of them, how they spent their days, and the world in which they lived. Their names may sometimes be all that history has left us, but their stitches can tell us so much more.
