Nashville 2024 Market release. A Canadian Reproduction Sampler!
Kathleen
tells us " No clues have been provided by the stitcher as to her name, year of origin, or place where she stitched her sampler. The only clue as to place might be in the lettering she used itself, giving one an indication it was stitched in Ireland. “A slightly surprising source of lettering which became identifiable on Irish Quaker school samplers, came to be known as the Benezet lettering. Anthony Benezet (1713-1784) came of a Huguenot family that emigrated to London in 1715 to avoid the persecution that followed the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and then settled in Philadelphia, where he became a Quaker and an important educator. He produced the “Pennsylvania Spelling Book” which was widely used in Ireland where a sixth edition was printed in Dublin in 1800 by John Gough, the son of the schoolmaster."
