A sampler with six scenes: a church with a garden, figures, animals, birds and butterflies in front; the garden of Eden with Adam and Eve; and a mourning scene with a weeping willow, and funerary urn, and four figures, two adults and two children. Three additional scenes show figures with animals and trees. With a rose vine border. The verse reads: Mother dear weep not for me When to this yard my grave you see my time was short and blest was he that called me to eternity From the collection of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
