Wonderful - stitching our way thru #Findingmiddlemarch
This sampler was made by Mary Ann Tidye in 1813 at age 11. @The_Herbert houses an impressive collection of samplers stitched in the 19thC by girls as young as nine. As a child, George Eliot would have produced comparable work. 🪡🧵#FindingMiddlemarch🔎 https://t.co/dImll2Dfez
In the 19thC the education of a young girl would have largely consisted of cultivating ladylike ‘accomplishments’. This little white cloak w/ a ruffled trim was executed by George Eliot & her classmates.

We'd love to hear more from any local historians from #Warwickshire #Coventry or #Allesey who may have more to add to the story... Notably, Bree served on the trustees of the Bedworth charity alongside Robert Evans (Eliot's father). #FindingMiddlemarch https://t.co/Df2zu0sNYe
