Item Description

 Susana Davis’ 1828 show towel. Includes both standard school child needlework and less-common white-work. Show towels are the Pennsylvania German equivalent of samplers.

This one, executed on homespun linen, has been stitched-mounted to 100% black cotton twill that has been treated for color-fastness and mounted over a wooden strainer.
