Sampler, c. 1936 - A Glimpse into the Social Fabric of America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry by Robert Stewart, titled "Sampler, c. 1936". Created with watercolor and graphite on paper, this exquisite sampler offers us a window into the social structure of early 19th-century America. The intricate design depicts various elements that define the era's society. Atop a hill stands an elegant manor house, symbolizing the upper class and their privileged lifestyle. Adjacent to it is a charming church, representing the strong influence of Christianity in people's lives during that time. Beneath these symbols of affluence lies another world entirely – that of the working class. The presence of factories signifies their laborious existence and highlights the stark contrast between social classes. Stewart's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of floral designs throughout the sampler, adding an element of beauty amidst this portrayal of societal divisions. Dating back to February 3rd, 1831, this period item not only serves as a decorative artwork but also holds historical significance. It provides valuable insights into American social history and invites contemplation on themes such as religion, geography, literature, and more. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this heritage art piece continues to captivate viewers with its functional yet artistic representation. Through Stewart's skillful needlework and meticulous craftsmanship emerges an evocative scene that speaks volumes about America's past – its aspirations for progress while grappling with issues related to social class and identity.
