The oldest samplers to be known from the continent
date back to the end of the 16th century. They are always
long and narrow, because the looms of that time were
very narrow. These long and narrow samplers show many
different motifs 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, like the two scenes of a richly dressed man
and woman. Samplers like this one were stitched in the
region of Saxony.
This chart was inspired by a photo of an antique Saxon
sampler I found in the book "Stickmustertücher"
by Eva Maria Leszner. (Eva Maria Leszner: Stickmustertücher.
Mit drei großen Musterbögen, Rosenheim 3.
Aufl. 1997, page 41.)
