Sampler by Betsy Leon


Sampler created by Betsy Leon in 1838. The sampler depicts a house and landscape, similar in style to other Baltimore samplers from the period. The sampler is framed in its original frame with old wavy glass, with an outer frame added later for display. This is an example of Judaica Americana. The item includes biographical information on both the artist, Betsy Leon and another sampler maker Sarah Benjamin.
