French Samplers - Laura Shepin

March 2007

Laura Shepin brought two small samplers which were purchased in Nashville, but the dealer had acquired them in France. They are silk on wool and are dated January 16, 1813. The verses are in French, the names appear as Andrina Gavin and Alexandrine Gavin. Laura would appreciate any additional information on these samplers or suggestions on how to find out more about the girls who stitched them.
