19th Century Italian Catholic Sampler with HeartsThe maker of this interesting sampler left behind some clues that are important as this symbolic information helps to determine the history of this wonderful example worked by a child. A lady I consult with regarding samplers is extremely knowledgeable and provides valuable insight into each piece I share with her including this example. Thank you Barbara! This sampler is enriched with a plethora of religious symbolism starting with the first alphabet
