About the Item

This excellent sampler is representative of an important group of samplers made by schoolgirls in Philadelphia in the first decades of the 19th century. Worked by Mary Hogeland it depicts defining characteristics of the group, such as the couple in the specific costume, both wearing fancy hats, standing at the front of the stepped lawn in front of a brick house and surrounded by many animals and Quaker motifs. The Hogeland family is well-documented and a file of genealogical research accompanies this sampler. Worked in silk on linen and is in excellent condition. It has been conservation mounted and is in a fine mahogany frame. Samplers and needlework are our specialty. If you are interested in more of this type of work please visit our website, www.samplings.com. A small and important group of samplers was made by schoolgirls in Philadelphia in the first decades of the 19th century. The defining characteristic of these pieces is the very charming couple wonderfully portrayed by Mary Hogeland on this splendid sampler: a gentleman in a short double-breasted blue jacket with gold buttons and a lady wearing a side-swept skirt and holding a reticule, both sport fanciful plumed hats. Brick houses set on stepped lawns and many animals, trees, baskets and flowers embellish these samplers, as well. They must have been made under the instruction of a local schoolteacher and surface only rarely. Mary Hogeland’s sampler is a delightful new discovery. Quite interestingly, this sampler includes a great assortment of Quaker designs and motifs, not found on others from this group. The Hogeland family is well-documented in HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE HOGELAND FAMILY IN AMERICA FROM THEIR FIRST SETTLEMENT AT NEW AMSTERDAM 1638 TO 1891 by Daniel Hoogland Carpenter (New York, 1891). Variations of the family name include Hoochlandt, Hoagland, Hoogland and Hogeland and the family was part of the Dutch population that settled initially in New Amsterdam, now New York, and removed to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. One of the earlier progenitors was Cornelius Hoochlandt who arrived in 1638 and operated a ferry from Manhattan to Brooklyn, Long Island at what later was known as the Fulton Ferry. By 1723 a branch of the family settled in Feasterville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, just north of Philadelphia and became owners of large tracts of land in the area. Mary Hogeland was born in 1814, the daughter of Elias and Elizabeth Hogeland of Germantown. Her sampler was likely made when she age 13 to 15. In 1835 Mary married Joseph Everett Davis. They moved to St. Joseph County, Indiana and had at least one child, George Brideson Davis. Mary died in 1905. The sampler was worked in silk on linen and is in excellent condition. It has been conservation mounted and is in a fine mahogany frame. Samplers and needlework are our specialty.
