*Sampler. An embroidered linen sampler, by Amelia Yarnold, aged seven years, 1837, finely stitched with three small alphabets in cross-stitch, and a larger one in open-work stitch, the remainder worked in cross-stitch, comprising a religious verse and borders of floral and crown motifs, worked in coloured threads, predominantly green, yellow, cream, and black, sl. faded, 40.5 x 31.5cm (16 x 12.5ins), framed and glazed, together with another similar sampler by Esther Ann Yarnold, 1830, 31.5 x 30cm (12.5 x 12ins), framed and glazed, plus an early 20th c. embroidered woolwork picture of a woodman in a storm, sheltering under a tree with his hound, worked in colours in long and short satin stitch on silk (some perishing to silk), 55 x 40cm (21.5 x 15.75ins), framed and glazed. The latter item was produced as a kit in the wake of the popularity of Mary Linwood’s woolwork picture which was a copy after a Gainsborough painting of a woodman (subsequently destroyed by fire). Mary Linwood (1755-1845) was famous for her pictures in wool, often dramatically displayed in public exhibitions, and her ‘Woodman in a Storm’ was exhibited at a centenary exhibition of her works at the Leicester Museum and Art Gallery in 1945 (see Country Life, October 12, 1945, pp.637/8).
