EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning sampler, created by Elizabeth Moss in the United States in 1824, showcases an exquisite blend of intricate needlework and beautiful textile designs. The piece, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of the 19th century American artisans. The sampler, which measures approximately 18 inches by 15 inches, is a tabby weave embroidered in silk. It features a variety of motifs, including birds, floral designs, and people. The bird motif is particularly noteworthy, with a vibrant red bird perched atop a branch, surrounded by intricate stitching in various colors and patterns. The floral motifs are equally impressive, with delicate petals and leaves embroidered in silk, adding to the overall beauty and elegance of the piece. The linen and silk fabric, which has aged gracefully over the centuries, provides a rich background for the embroidery. The sampler is a reflection of the artistic heritage of the United States during the 19th century. It is a reminder of the importance of textile arts in American culture and the skill and dedication of the artisans who created such beautiful works. The intricate needlework and woven fabric demonstrate the artist's mastery of their craft and the enduring appeal of traditional textile arts. Today, the Elizabeth Moss sampler is a cherished object in the textile collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Its intricate designs and beautiful colors continue to captivate and remind us of the rich artistic heritage of the United States.
