Brenda tells us: "Lastly, an antique reproduction sampler - Mary Ann Copp, 1839.
It is a beautiful sampler with a stately brick house complete with a
brick/iron fence upon a brick wall. The basket above the house is simply
gorgeous. The sampler did come with some history, and it was
interesting to learn that Mary was described as living in a brickyard in
Jersey Channel Islands. The Copp family was a well-known name in the
brick business. There will be a bit of history write-up included in the
chart.
