William Curtis 1826 - Reproduction Sampler Pattern by Hands Across the Sea Samplers hemp 222 x 1 ~ PlumStitched in 1826 by a boy of just nine years of age, this eye catching sampler challenges expectation. It speaks not only of skill, but of discipline, patience, and quiet determination. William worked with precision and care, producing a piece that stands confidently alongside, and in many cases surpasses, the work of his female contemporaries. In presenting this sampler, we have chosen to honour William as The Lord of the May. Please email
