Their inclusion in the sampler would suggest they were much loved guardians and perhaps even included as symbols of protection.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe scene, set in a glen or meadow, offers a sense of greeting or of coming together. Perhaps it is meant to be a simple encounter or maybe it is that of mutual admiration or young love between two smitten individuals?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA connection between historical samplers with images of Solomon’s Temple may reflect shared ideals between Freemasonry and the larger culture of 19th century. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBy including a nod to the love Isabella shared for her parents, a beautiful rendering of Solomon’s Temple, two peace doves, two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and the images of friendship between a boy with his dog and a girl her sampler tells an endearing tale. She had to have been a happy girl with a rich childhood.","brand":"Etsy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45944763154605,"sku":"ET-1560142015","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/7703\/8765\/files\/il_fullxfull.5260274566_o9zw.jpg?v=1777098296","url":"https:\/\/www.kingslandneedleart.com\/products\/red-barn-samplers-isabella-roberts-1848-counted-cross-stitch-pattern-reproduction-sampler-chart-pattern-only","provider":"Kingsland Needle Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
