EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sampler created in England in 1820 by the talented C. S. Peake, who was just twelve years old at the time. The intricate needlework on display is a testament to both the artist's skill and their deep religious devotion. The sampler features an exquisite floral design embroidered with silk thread onto a wool ground backed with linen fabric. Amidst the delicate blooms, an evocative verse reveals profound contemplation on life, death, eternity, and faith: "Where should I be if God should say / I must not live another day / And send to take away my breath / What is eternity and death / And this shall be my great reward / To dwell forever with the Lord". This piece of heritage art not only reflects the artistic techniques prevalent during Britain's nineteenth century but also provides insight into Christian beliefs of that era. Its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship make it a true treasure for any art enthusiast or history lover. Displayed within the renowned Art Institute of Chicago, this print invites viewers to appreciate its beauty while contemplating themes that transcend time and place. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture moments of introspection and inspire us to reflect upon our own existence in relation to something greater than ourselves.
