Plate VI.—Portion of Sampler by Elizabeth Creasey.
Dated 1686.
The Late Mr A. Tuer.
This Sampler, of which only the upper half is reproduced, is remarkable not only for the decorative qualities of its design but for its perfect state of preservation. It consists, besides the four rows which are seen, of one other in which the drawn work is subservient in quantity to the embroidery, and of seven rows in which the reverse is the case. The inscription, which is set out below, alternates in rows with those of the design. The butter colour of the linen ground is well reproduced in the plate. The original measures 32×8.

Hand Its Better Worth Then house

Her work Done in the year 1686.”
As also in that by Kitty Harison, in our illustration, [Fig. 13].
