Coussin Antique 1832 American Sampler Print

This is a digitally enhanced print derived from an antique American sampler featuring a large basket of flowers with scattered motifs including birds, squirrels, butterflies, and floral sprays, with a verse and inscription; the border is made up of four different floral patterns. The verse reads: "I am often like the lonesome dove That mourns its absent mate From hill to hill from vale to vale Its sorrows to relate But canaans land is just before Sweet spring is coming on A few more beating winds and rains And winter will be gone". The inscription reads: "Mary Hallowell's work 1832"
