Samplers were first made in the 1400s or 1500s as a way of remembering different types of stitches or patterns. Over time they evolved into pieces of work made by young girls, proving their knowledge and patience.
The Herbert has over 60 samplers in its collection. With volunteers from NADFAS we have recently completed a project to improve their storage and to make them more accessible. You can see some of the samplers on display at the Herbert in the History Gallery, Connected and in What's in Store.

Our first puzzle of 2022 is from a manufacturer/distributor we'd not heard of before: Willis Toys. A quick search reveals they are still in existence, but this particular jigsaw is some years old and no trace of it remains online as far as I can tell. Thinner pieces - although they fit together well enough - all with regular shapes: 2 knobs, 2 holes, so not as easy as it first appeared.
My attempt at creating perspective with blackwork. The Beginning Drawing approach using blocks and spheres. The sphere looks better in the larger size.
