Comprehensive Text on American Samplers
9. Oktober 2001

Bolton, Ethel Stanwood and Coe, Eva Johnston; Dover Publications, New York, reproduction of 1973 Dover edition, an unabridged republication of the work originally published by The Massachusetts Society of the Colonial Dames of America in 1921. Trade Paperback. 416 pages.
A superb collection of American Samplers from the 17th century colonial period to 1830. Beautifully illustrated with 128 examples. There is also a special section on sampler verse, material on verse dates, schools, and styles which might be helpful in establishing correct dates and other information.

A Phenomenal Resource
27. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This is one of the great Dover Books reprints -- making a classic text available at a reasonable price. This Dover is a hefty 416 pages. The illustrations are in black and white, but this is a book valued for the detailed, comprehensive content rather than pretty pictures.
And can we just take a moment to delight at the name of the original publishers: The Massachusetts Society of the Colonial Dames of America.

Very unusual book on samplers...no color photos
24. März 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
I bought this book at the Shelburne Museum in Vermont in 1977 and have read it almost cover to cover. If you love needlework history and samplers like I do, you'll consider getting this book as an unusual resource for your library. The Society of Colonial Dames helped Ethel Stanwood Bolton and Eva Johnston Coe put together this huge tome by compiling over 400 photos and scraping up descriptions of 2,500 samplers from the time frames noted by the other reviewers. The authors include almost 130 photos but they're very hard to relate to or appreciate because they're b&w. However, the great lengths the authors went to to make up for this is astounding: they describe each sampler to a T. I included in images above the cover and 2 typical pages.
To the extent any of the info is available, the authors list the fabric, threads, stitches, subject matter (house, mourning, etc.) and, of course, the names, ages and dates of the sampler makers. Reading through the descriptions, I started to make out patterns and singularities. You can find samplers made by boys, made by girls as young as 3, and analyze the text or verse. Did you know that with the large families in colonial times, they sometimes "recycled" names? If little child #2 named Martha died at 6 months, her parents might name child #7 Martha. You can discern the marriage ages, rate of child-bearing (6 kids in 8 years!), unfortunately high death rate both in childbirth and infants. It's interesting to see not just dads, but moms also frequently named their daughters after themselves. These are other books on samplers you might enjoy for further discussion and, especially, close-up color pictures:
Samplers (Shire Collections)
Samplers & Samplermakers: An American Schoolgirl Art 1700-1850
Quaker School Girl Samplers from Ackworth
American Needlework Treasures: Samplers and Silk Embroideries from the Collection of Betty Ring
