Notes: "Exhibition at Witney Antiques."

"In this our annual exhibition of samplers we have set out to explore the far reaching influence of Quaker teaching on school girl needlework. Included in the exhibition are samplers from well known English Quaker schools such as Ackworth, York School and Milverton, as well as those worked under anonymous Quaker tuition. Amongst a number of examples of American Quaker needlework on display will be a particularly rare globe worked at Westtown School, Chester County, Pennsylvania." -- http://www.cotswolds-antiques-art.com/exh/witney.html.
