This large silk embroidered and painted map sampler depicting the city of Washington, D.C. was made circa 1800-1804 by Eve Resler, a local girl of around seventeen. The sampler includes a detailed street map, painted allegorical figures of “Hope,” “La Liberty,” and “Justice,” and an embroidered portrait bust of George Washington. The accompanying inscription reads “GEORGE WASHINGTON/ First President of the United States/ and late LIEUTENANT GENERAL of the / American Armies/ Died at Mount Vernon 14th Dec. 1799 Aged 68 Years.” This sampler reflects the extent to which national pride in the early republic permeated all aspects of popular culture.
