Is this an old sampler ?

 I was flicking through some books in a charity shop in Morecambe and this fell out from between them.

Again its stitched in wool on the same kind of fabric as the last one that I bought in Scotland, Its actually dirtier than in the picture and the colours are a bit faded but very bright on the back.

I know that it was stitched by Lizzie Cragg and some of the spacing is interesting but the Two things that I don't know are her age or the date, I don't think its a reproduction and it looks like a schoolgirl sampler but thats all I can really say about it.

I forgot to mention the price , just £1.00

    Such neat little stitches! The abandoned samplers seem to have a way of finding you.
