Rare small size school girl sampler. Rare to be this small and very narrow form. Sampler itself measures just 3 1/4 inches across by 6 3/4 inches tall. Has multi colored cross stitching of the alphabet, with small motifs down below of what looks to be a bird, flowers and other things. Nice primary colors of blue, red, green, and yellow. One light color looks to be faded. It is set in a bit of a little later frame. The frame measures 7 1/8 inches across by 11 1/8 inches tall. Looks to be in great condition, and stitched on homespun linen. On the backside is handwritten Early Sampler, not a family piece. I have not taken it out of the frame so as not to disturb it. My opinion is to date it late 18th to early- mid 19th century. Super sweet and rare size.
