1914 Memorial Sampler
Share this article with...
From 1914, this piece shows the great difference in style from the previous century.
In many ways, it is more naive, though has the symbolism of the anchor and cross.
Use of ribbons in this piece may have been a personal preference by the weaver, but that shows just how unique these pieces are. The formal style that was popular not long before (and still popular at the same time as this was produced), is simply not used because of the personal nature of the piece and its defiance of external stimuli.
