Lovely sampler in the Cooper Hewitt dated between 1601 and 1650. The flowers at the bottom are especially fun, as is seeing the unfinished embroidery with the patterns drawn in. Accession Number 1941-69-80 Object ID 18564387 http://cprhw.tt/o/2D9xD/

The slips are in a similar style to those found in “A Book of Slips of Flowers” Engravings by John Dunstall, published by John Overton in 1666. Also published by Peter Stent. Registration number 2AA+,a.67.109 in the British Museum. https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_2AA-a-67-109
