Book Description
This is an extraordinary assemblage of Maryland samplers and pictorial embroideries that will appeal to scholars, collectors, antiques dealers, and modern day embroiderers, written by an accomplished textile historian. Students of women's history and of the decorative arts will discover more about the role of needlework in early female education and in the lives of ordinary women in the changing currents of Chesapeake regional history. Genealogists will gain valuable insights into Maryland families and their migration patterns. The appendices document all known Maryland needlework samplers and embroideries. The samplers presented in this beautifully illustrated, handsome volume will inspire and awe readers with the skill, talent, seriousness, and occasionally irrepressible humor of their young creators.

Book Description
Gloria Seaman Allen applies her formidable research and narrative skills to the fledgling District of Columbia, bringing to light heretofore unknown details and full-color images for nearly 130 samplers and pictorial embroideries stitched in the first years of the nation's capital. Columbia's Daughters examines the political, economic, and social dynamics of Alexandria, Georgetown and Washington City, the three urban centers that merged to create the District of Columbia as the nation entered the nineteenth century. Here are the lives and little-known schools of needlework teachers and students who witnessed the emergence of a new federal identity in a turbulent time--and left embroidered records of what they saw.

Book Description
"American classrooms have gone largely unrecorded, these astonishing embroideries which are usually signed, dated, and even sometimes inscribed with the names of the towns in which they were worked and the names of the embroiderers' teachers serve as historic documents, attesting to the existence of colonial education for women. There is a story behind each of the nearly eighty samplers illustrated in this book"--Insleaves.
