Needlework Sampler Map of Palestine, circa 1900. Decorative textile sampler depicting a Palestine map, worked in fine needlepoint on linen. The composition features a centrally placed regional outline with labeled locations and surrounding decorative borders, rendered in muted blue, green, and earth tones typical of late 19th-early 20th century instructional and commemorative needlework. The lower margin bears an inscribed dedication reading "Mary Ann Harris St. George Sch," suggesting execution in a school or educational context, likely as part of a girls' needlework curriculum. Housed in a period wooden frame; the reverse shows original textile backing and later auction label. A rare and evocative example of religious and geographic sampler work reflecting biblical-era cartography and devotional education at the turn of the century.
