| A Stitch in Time |
Early 19th-century mourning embroideries, memorials to deceased family members, became even more popular after George
Washington's death in 1799. Full attributions were sometimes
inscribed on the black glass surround, in addition to information on the
embroidered material. This silk and watercolor on silk example reads:
"Wrought by Ann Clap at Mrs. Saunders & Miss Beach's
Academy Dorchester (Massachusetts) 1807."
