Fine Pennsylvania German Sampler, 1839
About the Item
Needlework made by the varied sects of the Pennsylvania Germans can display the strong color and great whimsy found on much of the folk art produced within these communities. Certain of the specific motifs worked by Henrieta Haas point to the origin as being from eastern Berks County – the most obvious being the vase with seven flowers, two of them on low hanging branches, centered on the bottom of her very appealing sampler (refer to SAMPLERS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA GERMANS by Tandy and Charles Hersh, figure 4-65). Another device, the strawberry plant which was worked in the center at the top of this pictorial register, is both interesting and informative. It is one of the signature motifs of the samplers made under the instruction of Sarah Boone, a revered Quaker teacher from this area. Little dogs, a deer and a pair of birds provide a note of animation to her work.
Henrieta worked her name in the same large scripted font as she used for her large alphabet, and spaced the letters of her name along the bottom line ending with the date.
