Embroidered sampler 1691 German, probably Nuremberg This sampler features an upper and lower case alphabet, flowers (pansies, roses, lilies, and tulips), potted fruit trees and buttonhole-stitched edges. The motifs border all four sides and point toward the middle of the work, in which is stitched a floral wreath, typical of German samplers through the nineteenth century. The date on the sampler, 1691, is presumably the year in which the work was completed. It is stitched in such a way that it reads "1691" both upside down and right-side up. The sampler has the square shape, buttonhole stitched edges, and center-facing flower sprig and vase motifs typical of seventeenth-century samplers from Nuremberg, Germany..
