Abstract
The article discusses the discovery of two 18th-century Barbadian samplers in British collections, shedding light on the needlework education of white girls in the British Empire's slave-holding colonies. The samplers made by Martha Collymore in 1771 and Jane Rollstone Alleyne in 1777 exhibit a blend of 17th and 18th-century sampler styles, suggesting they were made under the same teacher in Barbados. The samplers highlight the cultural exchange between the British Isles and its colonies, showcasing how girls in the Caribbean learned to embody British womanhood through needlework.
