When removed from the frame, in Sept 1999, for conservation work it was found that probably on three previous re-framings the work had been tacked as the tack heads are clearly visible around the edge and staple marks are also present. The conservator was able to remove some rust but not the staple marks. She feels the 'browning' of the material was caused by the wooden board which the sampler was mounted on.|The conservator stated that the material was cotton 'Tiffany' fabric.Framed sampler of cross stitch headed 'Prudence' 'Hear the Words of Prudence, give heed unto her councils and shore them in your heart. Her maxims are universal and all her virtues lean apon her. She is the guide and mistress of human life. Put a bridle on thy tongue , set a guard before thy lips lest the words of thine own mouth destroy thy peace. Let him that scoffed at the lame take care that he hurt not himself. Whosoever speaketh of anothers failings with pleasure shall hear of his own with bitterness of heart. of much speaking cometh repentance but in silence is safety'|Embroidered trees and buds, flowers, baskets all stylized.
