This classic sampler combines delicate needlework, splendid color and a verse that aptly recommends us to store our minds "with charms that last. / Most will endure when beauty's past." The samplermaker was twelve-year-old Cynthia Smith of Haverford, a small early town just west of Philadelphia. The influence of 18th century Philadelphia sampler design is evident in the compartmental composition and the effective use of sawtooth outlines.
Worked in silk on linen, the sampler is in excellent condition with some very minor loss to the teal blue silk. It has been conservation mounted into a molded frame.
