The oldes sampler to be known from the continent date back
to the end of the 16th century. As the 17th century progressed,
samplers lengthened into long, narrow strips of linen cut
from a loom width of cloth.... The approximate average dimensions
of this type of 17th century sampler were between 60-70 cm
(2-3ft) in length and 13-25 cm (5-10 inch) in width... The
embroidery patterns were now stitched as horizontal bands
across the full, but narrow width of linen. (The embroiderers'
guild: Making samplers, Devon 1994, page 8)

Baroque Sampler

These long and narrow samplers show many different motives stitched
in rows, like borders, alphabets, the lamb of God with the banner
of victory and heraldic designs. Most of the motifs you find
on this sampler are from the model book by Johann Sibmacher,
printed in 1601. Others are created by Sybilla Merian and Helena
Rosina Fürst.
The patterns for the little birds were first printed in the
model book by Peter Quentell, published in Cologne in the year
1533. The peacocks are a symbol for immortality, resurrection
and eternal life. They are the birds of paradise. Samplers like
this were stitched in the region of Saxony. This band sampler
is worked in the style of a 17th century original.
